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 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. 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.

The distinctive coat is a sign that the cat may have an extra X chromosome (if it’s a male). Females, however, already have two X chromosomes so they can rock that coat without the extra X. To find out if this kitty is really a chimera, it would require a CSI-like genetic test with samples of skin from both sides of its face.
