Let's hear it for Luntik: The amazing cat with FOUR ears

The brief Seventies craze for quadraphonic sound might have lasted a little longer if there were more cats like Luntik around.

The three-month-old kitten who lives in a garage in Vladivostok, Russia, has a 'spare' pair of vestigial ears just in front of his real ones.

It's not a completely unique condition. There's a cat called Yoda living in Chicago with an even bigger pair of spare lugholes.

Raspberry: Luntik gives his reply to anyone who says he looks a bit odd.

Two? Hah! I've got four... Luntik gives his reply to anyone who says he looks a bit odd

Well that takes the biscuit: A stunned dog catches sight of Luntik, the kitten born with an extra pair of ears

Unlike the widespread reports of 'winged cats' - which are usually just the result of wishful thinking and extremely matted fur - Luntik really does have a fully formed extra pair of ears.

However, they don't have any of the internal 'plumbing' that would actually make them workable.

Best leave those old Pink Floyd LPs up in the loft then.

Luntik's second pair of ears are purely 'decorative' as they have no ear canals

As hearing aids go, they don't come better than this. Meet Yoda, the two-year-old moggie who was born with four ears.
