SHREWSBURY, Mass. -- Saved from being put to death, a two-faced cat has shown that beating the odds only takes a little love and faith.

Milbury native Marty saved the cat from being euthanized almost seven years ago.

"I just fell in love with him," Marty said. "I'm a bleeding heart."

Marty named the cat Frank and Louis so each face would have a name.

Frank and Louis have altogether two mouths, two noses and two working eyes.

Cats with two faces are extremely rare. Most die within a few days of being born, but not Frank and Louis.

"Everyday I thank God that he is still doing ok," Marty said. "He's like my son."

I'm so glad there are people who are so much better at things than I am. I can't get to the video portion but from the photo it looks like such a beautiful cat. But I don't think I could stand living with the two faces.

With two noses it can sniff out turkey in the refrigerator twice as well as a normal cat.

That is an amazing cat. A little spooky looking, maybe, but I am glad someone took a chance and saved him. I am a sucker for these kinds of stories.

He was playing kissy-face in the video. (Only using one tongue, AFAIK.)

That 2-headed cat must have stolen an extra head from "Mags the Cat", who lost his head in an auto accident--- and lived.

They are Siamese twins. I'm glad he treats them as two.
