The Mysterious Chimera Cat – What Is It?

Anne Morgan

The term chimera comes from Greek mythology as it was the name given to a fire-breathing monster that had the head of a lion, the tail of a serpent, and the body of a goat.

The chimera cat is also sometimes called a two-faced cat but not because she has two heads but because her face is divided by a straight line with one side of the face in one color and the other side in another color.

The face is usually divided by one straight line leaving one half of the face in one color and the other half in another color; looking like each side belongs to two different cats.

As a result, a chimera cat forms with two sets of DNA, one its own, and the other one from the second embryo. This chimera phenomenon is so interesting that sometimes people like to say that a chimera cat is her own fraternal twin.

Some chimeras may be born with a mixture of two blood types in their veins. On the other hand, some of them may have both male and female reproductive systems, although their male reproductive organs may be hidden inside, giving them a female appearance

There is not much data available about the chimera cat’s lifespan, or health in general. They’re usually healthy cats with some possible diseases such as obesity, bone structure issues, or cognitive dysfunction.
