VIDEO: Meet Frankie/ Louie, the Two-Faced Cat

Tuesday, 27 September 2011 | by Pat's Picks

Hey Frankie, get Louie! Two names, same cat. The Worcester Telegram & Observer says two names are necessary. Why? Because Frankie/Louie is a two-faced cat. He’s a Janus cat, named after the two-faced Roman god, and the Guinness World Records has just named him the longest-living one.

How does that even work? According to the Telegram & Observer: “The cat has two faces, but only one head and brain, so the faces react in unison and not as separate entities. Also, two faces doesn’t mean two cans of cat food every morning. The cat’s right side — or Frank’s side — is connected to an esophagus while Louie’s isn’t, so Frank eats for two.”
