Midas, a four-month-old Turkish kitten born with four ears has become an internet sensation with more than 73,000 followers on social media reut.rs/3FCb3b3

 

Midas was born with two sets of ears and a defective jaw due to a genetic mutation.

She was  adopted by Canis Dosemeci and her family.

They said they fell in love with Midas at first sight.

Midas, whose name comes from the mythological king of Phrygia who was saddled with donkey ears but could turn everything he touched into gold, achieved internet fame with social media posts about her daily life with Suzi and Zeyno (two dogs, Golden Retrievers).

Her condition does not affect her health or hearing, according to her veterinarian.

What sets Midas apart is that all four of her earflaps are connected to the ear canal.

Dosemeci said she hopes Midas’ popularity can persuade people to adopt pets rather than buying them from stores.
