[Frank and Louie turned 12 years old](http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_ODD_TWO_FACED_CAT?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&CTIME=2011-09-29-09-49-59) and thus set a new record for longevity in a Janus cat. While odd looking, he seems to be a beautiful, happy and affectionate cat. I say good on Marty Stevens for agreeing to be ruled by his feline overlord(s) all those years ago! ---

When I clicked on that link I got a big picture of a Cyclops (from a video game) in the accompanying Ad box. Either a remarkable coincidence, or someone’s keeping track at their ad agency. Glad to see the cat survived, by the way, and is older than any of ours. I’d pet it. ---

The use of singular and plural tenses in that article is almost stifling. I kept having to reread things to parse them. ---

He’s a cat and a half, that one. 🙂 ---
