A cat named Narnia was born on March 28, 2017 and his amazing coat coloring has made him famous.
We quote regarding a "Rare Kitten Born With ‘Two Faces’ Grows Up Into The Most Beautiful Cat Ever".

'We usually stay away from two-faced people, but there’s nothing more adorable than a kitty with two-toned fur. Recently, professional animal photographer Jean-Michel Labat shot Narnia, an adorable British Shorthair cat in its home in France, and the pictures are making headlines all over the internet.

'Labat has purrfectly captured the unique looks of the feline which probably occurred early in its mother’s womb. ...[H]is breeder Stephanie Jimenez instantly fell in love with her blue-eyed sweetie. While the exact cause of this particular pet’s striking appearance is unknown, other cats with this mysterious look are known as chimeras. A feline chimera is a cat whose cells contain two types of DNA, caused when two embryos fuse together.'


Here are thumbnails of Narnia--

And the Parisian cattery where Narnia was bred has a Facebook page, titled "Chatterie de la Grace," with more pictures.
