Default Four-eared cat

A friend sent me this link to a Yahoo/Reuters story about a four-eared
kitten turned in to a German shelter. There are several pictures -
follow the link on the thumbnail in the main page, then the link to
the two-pictuer slide show. The second of those is a side view that
really shows the configuration.

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=573&ncid=757&e=1&u=/nm/20040325/od_nm/kitten_dc

The link is long and may get wrapped in transmission, so you may have
to paste it back together. And yes, I know about URL shortening web
sites.

Awww. I hope that is the only genetic problem she has and has a good life.

I'm glad you pointed out the slide show, because I would have missed
that. She doesn't look all that different - just a cute kitten with
more ears!

BTW, you don't need to worry about shortening URL's, because you're
posting with Agent. The only newsreader I know of that chops URL's is
Outlook Express.

Still, the standard line length for usenet messages is 76 characters,
and that is 98 before quoting in replies. When it came to me, it was
wrapped in the e-mail, and wrapped again when I passed it around.

But it makes it much easier for those of us with text-only newsreaders.
I use tin, which doesn't allow me to click on a link in a post. I have
to cut and paste it into my browser. A "tinyurl" is so much easier to
deal with!

She's very cute! I wonder if her second set of ears will grow at all,
and if she'll have muscle control over their movements. The article
did say they weren't functional in terms of hearing, but perhaps she
can use them to express feelings. She could really give someone a super
turbo "airplane ears" expression if she wanted!
