Yeeesh!

I guess a deformity like that is possible, but couldn't that photo have
been faked?

I followed it. It's scary. As a wise man said in a movie once,

Yeah, fakery is always possible, but if they were faking it, the
faces would have been of Alien Elvis and Bat Boy.

On the other hand, it's pretty impressive that the body can still
figure out how to live and function.

I'm pretty sure this has happened to humans too. Has everyone heard
of the Hensel twins? Born in 1990, two separate necks and heads, one
body, otherwise bright normal girls. Nobody expected them to walk, as
they each control one leg, but now they walk, run, and ride a bike.

I imagine a two-faced cat will face fewer challenges than a two-faced
human, of course.

I did, and I'm sorry I did.

I saw a picture of that cat today in the newspaper. the caption stated that
he only lived a few days.

Poor thing.

Before I heard that he died, I was hoping the owner would name him Janus.
