The household pet, named Yoda, was born with an extra set of ears.
‘The vet had never seen anything like it before,’ explains Valerie – his owner. ‘He immediately went to the internet and found the four-eared cat in Germany. ‘We have spoken with other vets in our acquaintance, and they likewise had never encountered anything like this.
‘We began to realise that we had something very special. ‘As a result, he has been an indoor cat and has a chip installed in case he gets lost. Yoda is so different that we were concerned that he might be catnapped.’ Yoda’s extra ‘flaps’ are separate to the base of his skull, with one placed slightly behind the other.
Yet despite his unusual looks, Valerie is sure Yoda’s behaviour – and hearing – are quite normal. ‘Yoda’s hearing is normal as far as we know,’ says Valerie. ‘People do a double take when they see him or his picture. It is great fun showing him off.
