It is the Internet, so Yoda the cat's four ears could easily be an optical illusion or a camera trick along the lines of those semi-animated, talking cats whose mouths move on kitty litter commercials. Or perhaps the 2-year-old feline is just a remarkable showcase of genetic mutation.

[Defiant]

Could this be a sign from above warning about something to do with ears? If a white buffalo is born, that would tell us to avoid Hillary, but this, what could it mean?

Is four-eared cat pondering the existence of ceiling cat?

[Defiant]

He might be pondering the existence of discrimination against dark-furred cats.

There was a four horned sheep for sale on Swico auction
here in Huntsville.
I thought it was a freak until I searched the web.
There is a breed of sheep with two curved horns and two straight horns.

Camera trick I am not! Real, my ears are! The genuine article I am!

Here's another pic, with the owner:

Four horned sheep, four-eared cats, where will it all end? This MUST be the end of times!

Definitely a Jedi kitty, not to be confused with a Viking kitty.

[Defiant]

This cat is not just watching, but listening.

If this thing walks across your path you might as well cash in your chips, you’re a gonner.

[Defiant]

Maybe the owner should paint the ears green, and call the cat “Clover”. Could bring luck.

She looks like Basement Cat thinking, “I can haz souls?”

What about the Hillary Cat???.......

When four ears you have, hear better you will.

[Defiant]

Now come on, that one’s not real.....is it?

Don't underestimate the power of the loud side.

In my experience, grey cats seem to have especially friendly personalities. Why their fur color would affect that, I don’t know. But that’s my experience with at least 3, and that’s certainly a scientific sample! I like ‘em.

When I posted this I searched "eared" and then "cat" and nothing came up. I searched again under cat, and this came up:

Earlier thread. There were a couple other threads.

Search is the one thing on this site I wish could be improved.

You haven’t really lived until you’ve driven down a deserted country back road at dusk, rounded a corner and seen a small flock of these “apocalyptic critters” staring at you from the other side of the fence, illuminated eerily by your headlights.”
