All cats are special in their own way, but one taken in by a Pennsylvania shelter has a particularly notable unique feature, reports KDKA.
The black kitty named Batman has 4 ears.
On July 12, he was brought to the Pittsburgh outpost of the Western Pennsylvania Humane Society, and, within hours of becoming available for adoption, found his forever home.
Caitlin Lasky, marketing communications manager at the humane society, told ABC News, “A young girl and her mother decided to take Batman into their home. It was fitting because the little girl liked superheroes."
The extra ears are located just behind his primary ones and are likely the result of a recessive gene mutation.
While they don’t come equipped with auditory canals, they do allow extra opportunities for the ear scratching so many cats love so much.
