LAKE CITY, Fla. -- When Teresa Morrison's cat had a litter Tuesday, she noticed something was different about one of the kittens.
"I thought it had growth on its face," she said.
The kitten has two mouths, two noses and four eyes. She immediately called her veterinarian."He said he's never seen it. Never," Morrison said.The kitten is nursing from its mother, which the vet said is a good sign."(She's) feeding off one mouth now; sometimes go to the other one, but he's not getting it open," Morrison said.The vet told Morrison he didn't know if the cat has one or two brains, but having one would give the cat a better chance to survive.He said if the kitten lives 48 hours, he has a good chance of living a full life.Wednesday morning, Morrison named the cat "Deuce."
