4 Eared Cat

[freeztar]

I found this link which gives more info on the cat in the video and confirms one of my suspicions, no connection to the brain (if the source is to be trusted).

Yoda has 4 ears and belongs to Valerie and Ted Rock. They were in a Chicago bar in 2006 and saw a grey kitten being passed around curious fellow drinkers. The adopted the 8 week old kitten from his owner and named him Yoda. Their vet was mystified by his unique appearance and found information on the web. The extra ear-flaps (non-functional) are situated behind the normal (functional)ear-flaps and are not attached to the base of the skull, nor do they appear to have ear canals. The skull is broader than normal, giving him a triangular face. Yoda has normal hearing and behaviour and the presence of the extra flaps appears to be cosmetic. Interestingly, the functional ears have rounded tops which is unusual for a domestic cat, while the non-functional ears have a more normal pointed appearance.
