Famous cats of the internet

1. Venus the Two Faced Cat

Venus achieved her prominent reign over the cat-internet world due to her unforgettable face, which resembles two cats merged into one! She is just like any other tortoiseshell cat, however one side of her face is black with a green eye and the other side is ginger with a blue eye!

When it comes to feline genetics, Venus is somewhat a mystery. One theory suggests that the two coats is a result of an extra X chromosome, while another poses the chance of Venus containing two types of DNA.

However, it could just be down to pure luck that Venus’s colouration splits perfectly down the middle of her face!  

Another unique thing about Venus is her single blue eye, which is common in breeds such as Siamese and Himalayan cats, but not the tortoiseshell cat.

2. Colonel Meow

Speaking of Himalayan cats, Colonel Meow is a cross breed between the Himalayan and Persian breed. He is an internet sensation and famously known amongst the cat-loving community as the World’s Angriest Cat.

He holds the Guinness World Record for the longest fur on a cat, measuring 23cm - a coat that long requires brushing at least three times a day!

3. Sam the cat with eyebrows

Sam is named after an Andy Warhol book and we can’t deny that Sam’s eyebrows certainly look like a work of art!
