ROSEBURG, Oregon (AP) - A newborn kitten recently entered the world with two faces and, hopefully, at least nine lives.

Gemini was born Sunday with two mouths, two tongues, two noses and four eyes.

"I kind of feel sorry for her, because I can't know for a fact if she's going to live or die," its owner, Lee Bluetear, told the (Roseburg) News-Review. "If she makes it, she should be a perfectly normal and healthy cat. Other than having two faces."

That poor cat looks oddly cute and totally grotesque. I hope it manages to live, in the end.

There was another one born recently, wasn't there? That one was black.

Two cats with two faces? It's a sign. The end of the world is definitely nigh.

Ooh...I wouldn't give the poor thing much chance [Frown]

The black one that was born a few months ago had two distinctly formed mouths that weren't joined to each other, and it died after a few days. This one looks like its mouths are kind of merged with each other and the tongues are fused, so I doubt it's going to be able to eat properly.
