Into All That

The owners of Hex, pictured above in a photo swiped from cfnews13.com, were expecting conjoined twins, and ended up instead with a six-legged kitten and a backup supply of organs. And, I expect, 13.5 lives. What’s really notable is that the reporter chose to refer to the expected kittens as conjoined, maybe for reasons of political correctness, or possibly because there’s nothing special about giving birth to cats that happen to be Siamese twins. Okay, okay, sue me for that one… I’ve been holding it in since the last feline abnormality back in February.

Says the article:

The kitten needs an operation and the family is asking the community for donations. The surgery is expected to cost around $3,000.

There. My good deed for the day is done.
