A freaky feline slinked its way into the record books by becoming the longest-living two-headed cat in the world.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Frank and Louie,\" a member of an exotic breed of two-faced cats known as Janus cats, was officially\u00a0crowned the longest-surviving member of its breed byGuinness World Records<\/a> after turning 12 on Sept. 8.<\/span><\/p>\n

The creepy kitty has two mouths, two noses and three eyes, but only one brain, caused by a rare birth defect known as diprosopia. The condition occurs in many animals, including humans.<\/span><\/p>\n

He eats and purrs out of the right side of his face, or the \"Frank side,\" ownerMarty Stevens said<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Stevens<\/a>, who lives in Worchester, Mass., said Frank and Louie nearly lost all nine lives as a newborn when his original owner visited the Tufts University<\/a> vet clinic where she worked a dozen years ago.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"He was brought in at a day old to be euthanized and I said, 'I'll take him,' and they let me,\" Marty told the Worchester Telegram<\/a>.<\/span>
