That was gross. I have seen that kind of thing before. I guess it is like with Siamese twinning. When I was a kid, I always had to go to the museum in Lead, Deadwood South Dakota where they had a two headed calf. It was up in the rafters and sadly put aside from the regular exhibits last time I saw it. Still a kid's fantasy are those freaks. That poor kitten should not live, but you know how people are... They will spend tons of money trying to keep it alive, I'm sure...
I think the kitten should be able to live if he's going to have good quality of life and a good home. It's not his/her fault he's deformed, we don't kill babies who are conjoined.
Wow! That is something else! I wonder how they will be able to feed the kitten? By the looks of the picture, their mouths seem like it would be hard for them to nurse. Hopefully, she can survive. Creative of them to name her 'Gemini' too since it's the constellation and zodiac sign that means twins

wow. i dont know what to think about that one. it doesnt seem like it can be very comfortable.and they are saying it needs possible surgery. poor thing.
Well, I'll be the first to say irresponsible breeding. From what I saw from the article, the woman was breeding minature cats to sell on the internet.
At first it was by accident to have a litter of smaller than usual kittens, but then started inbreeding, (I assume) to continue with the smaller size kittens/cats.
I'm also guessing that in her endeavors to make money with these little cats that she has had some kittens born dead or with defects that she has probably disposed of.
Now she has this kitten with a most unusual defect that she no doubt is being paid money for just by showing it. Not to mention free advertising.
I'm totally with you on that one, PitPat!! I saw that at the bottom too and was like WTF??
"Bluetear has been breeding different kinds of animals, starting with dogs, since 1980. Roughly three years ago, she discovered a litter of smaller than normal kittens she calls "miniature cats."
She now has plans to market the miniature cats, which grow to about 4 pounds, on the Internet.
Gemini was born to a miniature mother and a full-size father."
Can we say "Evil person??' Breeding for all the wrong reasons to "market the miniature cats on the internet". Good job. *sarcastically*
