We usually stay away from two-faced people, but there’s nothing more adorable than a kitty with two-toned fur. Recently, professional animal photographer Jean-Michel Labat shot Narnia, an adorable British Shorthair cat in its home in France, and the pictures are making headlines all over the internet.
Labat has purrfectly captured the unique looks of the feline which probably occurred early in its mother’s womb. Narnia was born on the 28th of March, 2017, and his breeder Stephanie Jimenez instantly fell in love with her blue-eyed sweetie. While the exact cause of this particular pet’s striking appearance is unknown, other cats with this mysterious look are known as chimeras. A feline chimera is a cat whose cells contain two types of DNA, caused when two embryos fuse together.

Yin ,Yang and the In Between! :) Is it a boy or a girl? Does it have a name?
yes it's a male named Narnia, born in France at the cattery "Chatterie de la grâce" from a breeder called Stephanie Jimenez. He's one year old and the test are running to prove he is a chimaira. It's not prove yet. come and see her website you will see Narnia as a kitten <3 https://chatterie-de-la-grace.weebly.com/
Load More Replies...Lovely cat, but sort of hate to see breeders get any publicity. Perhaps there isn't an unwanted cat population in France.
There are strays and cats in need of homes everywhere
Load More Replies...What would you consider to be a realistic beauty?
Load More Replies...The cat is so beautiful. I can't help but notice how well he matches the house decor lol
C'est bizare mais n'est ce-pas? Not meaning in any sense at all that Narnia is such a spectacular, wonderfully beautiful & mesmerizing kitty cat. And such a very rare chimera type. But that he is male is rare in it's self,;though not so unheard of genetically if he is unable to reproduce. Wow what a spectacular unique Cat his!!!
Yes, when I saw the first picture, I crooned, "Baby!!' I. AM. NOT. ASHAMED. That is a gorgeous cat. It's a cat that Tyrion Lannister should have. I especially love the photo where he is peeking over the side of the box.
I think they're constantly surprised at how we humans act. Can't say that I blame them.
Load More Replies...She doesn't have 2 faces, she just has a different color on her right side. but it is very perfect.
he is beautiful !!!!also check out Venus the cat she has one blue eye and one green eye and a half black half tiger face she is a beauty too
right! I like this cat too! most of the chimaira cat are black and ginger. never grey and black. That's why Narnia is so cool don't you think? there is just one with this pattern

I'd never heard of the Celestial breed before now. Thank you for that link and the additional information! While it's a small issue, I'm glad you're doing what you can to combat that photographer's shoddy journalism.
Load More Replies...Cute! If it's a girl I'd call it Harley Quin and for a boy Deathstroke orJack o Hearts. Yes I love my comics.
His Name is Narnia he is born in France in the cattery "chatterie de la grace" his breeder is Stephanie Jimenez you can follow him in Facebook and Instagram
Load More Replies...no he is real ;) I know this cat since a long time and you can see many pictures and videos of him from birth to nowadays ;)
Load More Replies...ahhhh gorgeous! he would make a fab play friend to my George!! George-22f...bc59dc.jpg
Wow, very sweet. I would never believe it, This is very rare to find. Wish I could cuddle it.
He's gorgeous! The male counterpart to Venus (she's the orange and black cat like that).
I have never seen a chimera cat in this color combination. Narnia is stunning. Genetics are so intriguing.
Neighbor had masked cat from comics, eye mask, perfect for robbery and it was also acting like that, angry. Was so funny sight when he came to eat my cats left overs. then i moved and here was an activist cat, i got it to myself, what an irony, she has Black triangle scarf under her eyes to throat what you can see at demonstrations.
Gorgeous cat!! To those of you who complain about breeders: there is nothing wrong with careful, planned breeding of pedigreed cats and dogs. If there were no breeders, there would also be no more Maine Coons, British Shorthairs, German Shepherds, and Golden Retrievers. Blame the puppy and kitten mills, the backyard breeders, and the people who don't bother to spay/neuter their stray mixed breed animals. Conscientious breeders take great care of their animals.
That's a superstar cat right there. It should be featured in a movie, preferably one of the DC Comics or Marvel Studios productions. "Batman vs The Two-Faced Cat"
Beautiful pussycat! Then again, I've never met a cat who wasn't despite what others may consider a fault!
Great photos and article. Narnia is truly magical and worthy of his name!
Pretty sure that Photoshop had something to do with the eyes. Those are not normal cat eyes. Too perfectly round and look like cartoon cat eyes.
ahahah I can assure you Narnia is quite real ;) and the round shape of those eyes are quite common with british shortair (everything is round about us!)

I think maybe I had too much sugar for breakfast. When I first read this headline about two faces, I IMMEDIATELY thought of this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulmIyqb6W-8
he is very beautiful!!!!!!! please check out Venus the cat,she has half and half face with one blue eye and one green eye she is beautiful too!!!!!
Not that rare. I've seen two or three cats with the same composition of genes. This one is gray and black, the ones I have seen were black and white. They are interesting to see, however.
black and white are common. but grey with black and blue eyes there is just one in the world... ;)
Load More Replies...he looks much better than other two-face cats, like Venus <3
