A Russian Blue mix has not only found her forever home but a host of social media followers thanks to an extremely unique trait. She’s got four ears!

Midas, a kitten with a big personality, stole her owner’s heart after they met, thanks to her unusual and beautiful appearance.

While absolutely fascinating, Midas isn’t alone — she’s one of just a small number of cats that have had this same trait.

As far back as the 1950s, cats with these traits were observed. Researcher C.C. Little described one find in “Four-Ears, a Recessive Mutation in the Cat,” published in the Journal of Heredity in 1957. Little wrote that the condition “appears to affect the physiological activity and temperament, making the animal less active and more lethargic, although body size seems to be normal.”

Midas appears to be completely healthy; even her hearing seems unaffected!

Her family takes her for regular vet visits, tracking her growth and development and keeping their followers updated.

She gets along well with not only her human family members but even the family dogs, sisters Suzy and Zeynep:

While her condition is one that the family will need to keep track of for complications, it’s clear that Midas is loving her new home and family.
