Another Sunday, another animal Instagram star! Today we have decided to feature a very special kitty. Venus, known as Venus the Two-Faced Cat is an American tortoiseshell cat whose face is half black and half red tabby. And 100% beautiful! In addition, her eyes are heterochromic, her right eye being green, her left blue. Many reports about Venus refer to the cat as a "chimera."

In mythology, a chimera is a mishmash monster made up of parts of different animals. (Whatt?!) A feline chimera is a cat whose cells contain two types of DNA, caused when two embryos fuse together. The easiest way to identify a Chimera is to look for a bi-colored coat, separated right in the middle of the face and body. The Chimera is not registered as an official breed because of its complexity and its beautiful genetic anomalies. Not all Chimeras have perfectly symmetrical colors! It's easy to see why Venus is so famous! She dazzles the world with her amazing coloration and playful personality.

    As you can see, Venus is absolutely gorgeous. We are especially dazzled not only by the perfectly symmetric color differentiation in her face, but also by the striking difference in her eye color.
