You've got to be kitten! Adorable cat is born with FOUR ears thanks to a rare genetic mutation
The idea of a four-eared cat might sound like a creature from the lastest science fiction blockbuster.
But it has become a reality in Mount Juliet, Tennessee, where a feline has been born with four ears thanks to a rare genetic mutation.
The cat, named Audio, was taken in to the True Rescue shelter last month with his three other siblings.
Writing on its Facebook page, True Rescue explained: 'This kitten came into our shelter today with his 3 other siblings, and he has a rare genetic mutation having been born with FOUR EARS!
'The last kitten we were able to find research about that had 4 ears came from Turkey and was from 2 years ago.'

00:00I got an intake today. He came with his three littermates from a car lot in
00:08Nashville. They were found duct-taped inside a box with no air holes and a
00:14good Samaritan was able to get them out and get them fed and then get them to us.
00:19I'm not quite sure what we're gonna name this guy yet but if you can see he has
00:26four ears. So let me see if I can get him out and show you.
00:34Show him. Sit right there. Oh what a good boy.
00:41Here we are. We have front-facing ear flaps and then rear-facing ear flaps but
00:49he is very sweet and very grateful to not be stuck in that box anymore.
00:55Say hi. It's okay. Good boy.
