Two-faced cat
I am forwarding an email I received about this.
[previous headers snipped] THIS E-MAIL WAS SENT BY JOAN MILLER TO HER COLLEAGUE IN THE CAT FANCIERS ASSOCIATION, DR. LINDA MERCER. THE E-MAIL REFERS TO A CAT BORN TO OREGON CAT BREEDER, LEE BLUETEAR. THE CAT, NAMED GEMINI, HAS TWO FACES. A PICTURE OF THE CAT IS IN THE E-MAIL. MS. BLUETEAR IS CURRENTLY MARKETING A MINIATURE CAT THAT SHE HAS BRED. THE CAT FRANCIERS ASSOCIATION APPARENTLY HAS PLANS TO BREED AND MARKET THIS PITIFULLY DEFORMED TWO-FACED CAT. THE "MUNCHKIN" THAT MS. MILLER REFERS TO, IS A DEFORMED, SHORT-LIMBED CAT THAT THE CFA HAS APPROVED FOR BREEDING AND SHOWING. FOR MORE INFORMATION, SEE: http://www.oregonnews.com/article/20.../NEWS/50616015 http://www.oregonnews.com/article/20050616/NEWS/50616015 [snipped headers] Linda, I spoke with Lee today. Great news! Gemini is still alive and thriving. Apparently Lee had the vet, Dr. Ross, exam Gemini and he told her that the Gemini's reproductive organs are perfectly normal. Lee and I think that we should be able to breed Gemini in five to six months. (The earlier, the better, because it might die prematurely) We think there may be quite a market for two-faced cats. We want to call them Janus cats, after the two-faced Roman god. Lee is already gearing up to sell her "Miniatures." Unfortunately, Gemini has no "miniature" genes. Wouldn't that have been a interesting breed?? The CFA Board is very supportive, they think this could be the hottest thing since Munchkins. The only problem is that a high percentage of the kittens may not be viable and may have to go "nighty-night." We can control this problem by limiting who may breed Janus cats. The breeders can efficiently and humanely eliminate the "non-commercial" kittens. Are you interested? Joan Miller, Legislative Coordinator, 1805 Atlantic Ave, P.O.

I submitted this to the Urban Legends and Snopes.com websites as I suspect
it may be a hoax. Nothing is showing at either site about this so hopefully they'll check it out. -- Debbie Trujillo Please visit my website at http://mysite.verizon.net/res21yh8/index.html On 6/24/05 7:30 AM, in article , "Debbie Trujillo" wrote: I am forwarding an email I received about this.
