Ear, look at this

Thanks to Sophie Beaton for alerting me to this. It couldn't have come at a better time, seeing as I'm busily trying to out-do Matthew Naylor who's been blogging about fancy dress dogs.

This isn't a wind-up or an early April Fool. This is a cat with four ears. Yoda, named after the famous Jedi knight from Star Wars, has been attracting attention for his extra appendages.

Owners Valerie and Ted Rock from Chicago, USA fell in love with the freaky feline when they saw him in a local bar two years ago, and have cared for him ever since, although they have to keep him inside for fear of catnapping!

Yoda's hearing appears to be normal, although vets were baffled by the crazy cat's appearance. It's not hard to see why.
