World’s oldest two-faced cat Frank and Louie dies at age 15

THE world’s oldest cat, which was born with two faces, two mouths, two noses and three blue eyes has died at the age of 15.

THE world’s oldest cat born with two faces, two mouths, two noses and three blue eyes has died at the age of 15.

The two-faced cat, known as Frank and Louie, from Massachusetts in the US, made it into the 2012 edition of Guinness World Records as the longest-surviving member of a group known as Janus cats, named for a Roman god with two faces.

Janus cats almost never survive, and most have congenital defects.

The Telegram of Worcester reports that Frank and Louie died at the Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University in Massachusetts.

The cat’s owner, Marty Stevens, said veterinarians believe the cause of death was cancer.

Ms Stevens took in Frank and Louie in 1999. At the time, she was told the cat would die within three or four days.

But the cat lived beyond expectations.

“I tube-fed him until he was three months old because I was afraid he wouldn’t be able to eat,” she told The Telegram of Worcester.

Ms Stevens said she would be ready to give another Janus cat a home if needed.

“I would love to do it again,” she said.
