Geri the cat was born with two facial colors on its face, a rare case in nature.

On social networks, there are many cute pets with more followers than some music or movie stars. It could be a cat with an irritated frown, a smart dog… And now netizens have found a new character.

The cat caused a stir in the online community because of its clearly divided two-colored face. This condition is poetically called “chimerism” , named after a Greek mythological creature.

Chimera in mythology is a creature with the shape of a lion hybridized with a goat and a snake.

At first glance at the image of a two-faced cat, many people think it is a product of photoshop technology, but in fact these are real cases in nature.

The two-faced cat loved by netizens has an Instagram account created by its owner that has attracted thousands of followers. Her name is Geri, and she is currently living with her owner Erika Anne in England. Due to a rare congenital mutation, Geri the cat has brown and black fur that divides its face in half.


Erika said: “I accidentally discovered a cat with an unusual face at the pet store in 2019. Geri was about 2 months old at that time.”

Geri cats were born with two faces, a rare case of chimerism in the world. This phenomenon occurs when two fertilized eggs or embryos combine together during the early stages of pregnancy. Instead of giving birth to two separate cats with each set of DNA, only one cat is born, the fusion of two embryos.

Erika is a blogger specializing in writing about travel. She often takes Geri to many different locations to take many beautiful photos. Geri’s expressive face inspired Erika to be creative and take many beautiful photos.


Geri the cat’s account of 11,000 followers regularly shares beautiful images of it during travels and daily life.

Erika said that many people around her often ask about the cat’s unusual features and want to take pictures with them. People online loved it, giving it lots of compliments and even sending gifts to their homes.
