You've got to be kitten! Adorable cat is born with FOUR ears thanks to a rare genetic mutation

The idea of a four-eared cat might sound like a creature from the lastest science fiction blockbuster.

But it has become a reality in Mount Juliet, Tennessee, where a feline has been born with four ears thanks to a rare genetic mutation.

The cat, named Audio, was taken in to the True Rescue shelter last month with his three other siblings.

Writing on its Facebook page, True Rescue explained: 'This kitten came into our shelter today with his 3 other siblings, and he has a rare genetic mutation having been born with FOUR EARS!

'The last kitten we were able to find research about that had 4 ears came from Turkey and was from 2 years ago.'
