Like the kitten who was in the news a few months ago except this one fully grown, I don't know what to think about this, the cat looks happy enough in the video but is it right to keep it alive with a deformity like this?

What do you think? Confused

It seems sad to me, but I don't really have an opinion on whether it is humane to keep him alive or not because I don't know what his quality of life is. I didn't read the article.

Hi. I read the story and watched to video. This cat is very well cared for and seems to be very happy. I think he's very lucky to have found such a nice lady to take such good care of him. I don't feel sorry for this happy kitty at all. He may have a facial deformity, but he's not in any pain and seems very content.

Frank and Louie are well-loved and cherished and is thriving and has been thriving for years. I first did a double take at the picture but he/they look very sweet and see no reason to have them pts as they are happy/content. I bet it's difficult to keep them out of the limelight.

I think he looks very happy, and as long as the two faces doesn't cause him any pain or discomfort I don't see why he should be put too sleep.
He is very lucky to have that caring woman Smile

I absolutely agree with Bente. So long as the cat is happy, healthy and not suffering at all, euthanasia is not an option.

He looks sweet, happy, healthy and very well cared for and loved. He's one lucky kitty!
