Rescue Kitten With Two Sets Of Ears Becomes An Internet Sensation

ADVERTISEMENT

If there are any creatures that can rule the internet without really doing much, it’s cats. Cat lovers bond over any kind of content where cats are just being their sassy-hilarious-cute selves. However, it’s not every day you can see a cat with not one, but two sets of ears.

Meet Midas, a Russian Blue kitten that has four ears and a defective jaw because of a genetic mutation. This, however, has no effect on his hearing and Midas is doing just fine. According to his owner, Canis Dosemeci, the adorable kitten was born with five siblings in a friend’s backyard in Turkey. Concerned that Midas’ unique condition might make it harder for him to find a home, Canis decided to adopt the cat herself.

After having it confirmed by a vet that his condition does not affect his health, Midas seems to be living his best life. The kitten now has over 100K followers on Instagram who enjoy seeing the daily life of the 4-eared-cat.

    I am a Brazilian digital artist who loves transforming imagination into hyper-real visuals. I work with artificial intelligence and image editing to create what I always wondered as a child: how would our favorite characters look in real life? Over time, many of my artworks have gone viral and were featured in international publications. I have recreated realistic versions of cartoon characters such as Disney and The Simpsons, imagined how celebrities who died young would look today, and even gave modern faces to historical figures like Mona Lisa or Shakespeare. Beyond entertainment, I created Para Não Esquecer, a social project that revisits memorable criminal cases in Brazil. My goal is to honor victims, keep memory alive and remind society that justice and empathy matter. I also write for Bored Panda, where I create articles featuring artists, photographers, rescue stories and feel-good moments from around the world. My work aims to highlight creativity, kindness and emotional storytelling. In everything I do, my purpose is the same: to touch hearts, evoke emotion and make people feel something real.
