Have you ever heard of the term “four eyes” used to describe people who wear glasses? Well, there’s a new one in town: “four ears.” This unusual term describes Midas, a kitten residing in Ankara, Turkey with her owner, Canis Dosemeci. Midas’ distinct features, which include four ears caused by a rare genetic mutation, have made her a viral sensation as Dosemeci chronicles her escapades on Instagram.
Midas’ mutation leads to two small ears located in front of the typical set observed on cats. But, what’s even more remarkable is that all four of her earlobes are functional! A veterinarian has examined Midas and verified that they are all connected to her ear canal. Unfortunately, the genetic mutation also led to a defective jaw in Midas. Despite this setback, she lives her life just like any other cat, lazing around and playing with her Golden Retriever siblings.
Through Midas’ ordinary existence, Dosemeci hopes to inspire others to rescue pets instead of purchasing them. So, if you’re in search of a feline friend with a unique twist, look no further than Midas, the cat with four fully functional ears.
Midas, the feline with an unusual number of ears, has a playful and loving personality just like any other typical kitten. She loves to spend her time playing and cuddling with her dog siblings.
Midas is on the popular social media platform Instagram.
