Worcester's Two- Faced Cat Dies at 15
In Worcester, the world's oldest Janus cat with two faces died at age 15. Frank and Louie past away at the Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine at Tuft's University in Grafton on Thursday morning. Owner Martha Stevens said that Frank and Louie seemed a little down around Thanksgiving and gave them fluids. By Thursday morning the cat seemed to be getting worse so she rushed over to Tufts. Here is where the veterinarian said that the cat was suffering from a bad cancer. Even though Ms.Stevens was sad from the unexpected death of Frank and Louie she said she would do it all over again and take in another Janus cat.
After reading this article I thought it was interesting. I didn't know there was a cat that was in the Guinness World Record from Worcester. I don't know that much about cats so learning that a Janus cat living for 15 years is a good thing was interesting. My favorite fact from this article was that Frank's side had the esophagus and because of that he is like the main cat. They had two functioning eyes, the middle one was blind. Two noses and two mouths but they had one brain. With all of this it was still a healthy cat and it's amazing that it lived for 15 years.
