Half-and-half cat
Venus the cat has quickly become an internet sensation since showing her uniquely divided face.
Venus's owner says her cat was born with the distinct line down the middle of her face, which has jet black fur with a green eye on one side, and ginger fur with a blue eye on the other.
It is thought that Venus is a hybrid of two different populations of genetically distinct cells. This explains the two completely different halves of her face.
The cat has racked up almost two million views on YouTube and has more than 65,000 fans on Facebook, but despite the fame, Venus's owner describes her as a gentle and perfect pet with a big appetite.
"As tiny as she is, she likes to pick up the giant pieces of food from the dog food bowl rather than eat her cat food," she says.
Birmingham Dogs Home has issued an urgent winter appeal as it faces more challenges over the Christmas period.
