How could you say no to a face… faces like that?!

One loveable feline managed to give a whole new meaning to the term ‘two-faced’ during his lifetime. 

The oldest two-faced cat in the world, named Frank and Louie, has died aged 15. He lived in Massachusetts with his owner Marty Stevens. 

Frank and Louie had two mouths, two noses and three eyes, but only one brain, which meant that both of his faces responded in unison. He was honoured in the 2012 edition of Guinness World Records as the longest-surviving ‘Janus cat’ in the world – so called after a Roman god with two faces.

The vast majority of Janus cats do not survive more than a few days, and many have a litany of other congenital defects. Careful nursing from Ms Stevens, from 1999 when she first took in the cat, until his death this year, saw him survive far longer than expected.

“I tube-fed him until he was three months old because I was afraid he wouldn’t be able to eat,” she told The Telegram of Worcester.

Ms Stevens also said that she would love to care for another Janus cat in the future: “I would love to do it again.”
