Bettie Bee may only be 11-days-old, but she has quickly become an internet sensation with her three eyes, two mouths and two noses. The two-faced kitten was born on December 12, along with two other kittens who are normal, and is defeating the odds of survival after a veterinarian initially suggested to put her down.
Bettie Bee has been thriving since the day she was born, her anonymous rescuer, who has experience in nursing special needs cats, told Daily Mail Australia on Saturday. 'She is amazing and unique and also she was so feisty, she seemed to have a strong will to live,' her carer said.
'You cannot put a kitten to sleep who is so full of life, not sickly...I wanted to give her a chance.'
With both of the young kitten's mouths leading to her stomach, Bettie Bee is fed by a tube every two-and-a-half hours.
'So far she is doing really well, progressing like any normal kitten,' her carer said.
'It's not much different than caring for any other kitten I have raised, other than tube feeding.'
Two-faced cats, known as Janus cats, are extremely rare and usually die at a young age, but the tabby-coloured kitten is showing promising signs of growth. The little kitten's middle eye has even 'opened early' but Bettie Bee's other two eyes are still closed.
With a two part name to reflect her two faces, the South African tabby cat has become a global superstar, with thousands of people following the Bettie Bee's progress on her Facebook.
While it is still too early to tell if Bettie Bee will live as long as the famous Janus cat, Frankenlouie, who lived until he was 15-years-old, her carer hopes she will follow in his footsteps.
