A kitten born with two faces has died.
Bettie Bee was born Dec. 12 in South Africa with a rare congenital condition called craniofacial duplication, The Dodo reported. The kitten was born with two noses, two mouths and three eyes. While Bettie Bee received special care and was initially thriving, she died 16 days after birth after developing pneumonia.
When she had difficulty nursing naturally, her handler turned to tube feeding. Bettie Bee's rescuer told The Dodo that she can eat out of both mouths and that she has been feisty since birth.
Fans can follow Bettie Bee's progress on a Facebook page. A post from yesterday marks two weeks since the kitten's birth and says that she is doing great and her eyes are now open.
