Would you want a cat just because it had 4 ears?

Question

Fame finds 4-eared feline thanks to Internet photo

DOWNERS GROVE, Ill. - The owners of Yoda — a cat with four ears — could use a couple extra hands to answer their telephones.

Ted and Valerie Rock said they've been inundated with television offers and media inquiries since their son posted a photo of their smoke-colored cat on a Web site. That turned the four-eared feline from a suburban animal oddity into an instant Internet celebrity.

The Rocks, from the Chicago suburb of Downers Grove, have fielded calls from "Good Morning America," "Fox News" and "The Tyra Banks Show." The cat's photo has graced the London Guardian and a British tabloid. The Daily Mail said if Batman had a cat, it would be Yoda.

"It's amazing," Ted Rock said. "For the past few days, our phone has just been ringing off the hook."

Yoda's extra ears give him a hint of a devilish appearance. The Rocks said they found him in 2006 while watching a Chicago Bears game at a Blue Island bar.

Some in the bar were passing the then-eight-week old kitten around, making fun of his extra set of ears, mocking his appearance and calling him names such as "Devil Cat" and "Beelzebub."

It wasn't quite love at first sight, but the Rocks felt sorry for the cat and offered to adopt the kitten from the bar's owner, who kept the animal caged atop the bar for his customers' amusement.

Answer 1

Does a bear c**p in the woods!? ABSOLUTELY!

Answer 2

I would take the cat if he had 8 ears and as far as the bar owner he should be shot for putting that cat through that for "his customers amusement".  That is just sick and I wish I knew who that guy was, I would come over there and tear his head off.  How is the cat now?

Answer 3

I just saw that! People can be cruel! Such a beautiful cat.

Glad these people adopted him.

Answer 4

I would never take a cat just because it had four ears. People that take a cat or any other animal just because it is 'special' 'strange' or 'unique' most likely aren't adopting the animal for the right reasons. It shouldn't matter what it looks like. Although, I'd probably take any cats.

But just because it has four ears? Never. Because it is an animal that deserves a loving home and just happens to be a cat? Probably.
