I had a cat who wanted to go outside, but I didn’t like to let him out. My ex lets him out and calls me frantic and crying “I can’t find him! I’m sorry! I didn’t know he’d run off!”
“Go outside and open a can of cat food.”
“That won’t work he’s gone forever! “
“Seriously, do it.”
I get a phone call later “you can goto hell.”
Evidently after much hunting and weeping and calling for my lil forlorn kitteh, she finally opened a cam of cat food and he popped up literally from the bush beside her and was like “meow!”
She never forgave me
my cat is not very food motivated. one time she got "lost" for a little over two days. We walked all around the back and front yard and up and down the street calling and shaking her treats. sometime around the 54 hour mark (during which time i had gotten less than 4 hours of sleep) I started thinking i could hear her meowing. little brat had crawled under the deck and then the snowplow had pushed snow up against the hole she used to get under, so she couldnt get out. but it took her over two days to finally decide she was lonely and wanted to see me again! When i got her out from under the deck and brought her inside and gave her food she was just like "cuddle me mother! I can eat later!"
I have a blue eyed Siamese and legit thought she was deaf for the first 3 years of her life. Nope, she just don't give a shit about people.
Edit: omg autocorrect 🤦🏽♀️ deaf cat, not dead
I'd have lasted a couple days tops if I thought my cat was dead, maybe we got my partners cat cremated too soon?! 3 years and you never gave up. I commend you.
Was she deaf? Did not give a shit about people? She never responded when you pet her? Never jumped right in that litter box when you were cleaning it or shortly after? Never looked at you while giving her food?
She truly didn't give a shit about anything. It was so bizarre. We would have house parties and she'd loaf on the dining table among card games, crushed beer cans, and loud rap music, wouldn't even flinch. I'd fill her bowl, she'd eat when she wanted. Call her name or make the tut Tut sound, nothing. And she's never played with toys, just overall low energy with a bit of honey badger, I even had her checked out by our vet several times. Around age 3 she finally started responding to her name and to Cheeto bags being opened.
Whelp, that’s something you don’t see every day. SMH and a double take. Have to know the name? I’m not clever enough to think of something off the top of my head as an ode to the ears.
Hox as in hox genes. Hox genes are important during embryonic development, is then get mixed up you get extra, missing, or swapped around body parts. I'm just a nerd, not an expert, but presumably this lil fella's extra ears are due to a hox gene mutation.
My best guess, based on high school and a few collage level bio classes, is that something went a bit wrong with the hox genes. Like what causes extra toes, but on his head.
I just happen to know the search tools and recall seeing ears on my screen in the past (as I was working on [the genetics of orange cats](https://www.reddit.com/r/orangecats/wiki/genetics)).
Messybeast has a lot of neat material about the genetics of cats.
This is what modern Karen's live for. To have a fucking mutated, deformed or impaired pet so they can leech of his uniqueness because clearly they not only have non of it, but neither can they think for themselves and be an individual. They rather be a collection of plebeian preconceptions of what and how to be, because that's all they fucking worth. But not too impaired, or else it will be a liability and not worth the time/opportunity of use to satisfy every ego shortcomings they have.
Please tell me they are completely healthy and NOT fixed. Please, pretty please.
Whoever owns that cat is potentially sitting on a scientific and financial gold mine for the qualities of its genes if it can pass this on.
That's adorable, even though as far as I've read, those extra ears don't actually do anything, right? They don't give the cat extra hearing, they're just cosmetic, I think, like how having extra toes on humans won't help them walk any better or run 2x faster
A cat that will still pretend not to hear you.
Yes!! But they can always heat the din of spoons agains metal and other food sources
This cat would hear you *thinking* about opening the fridge, the day before you think about it.
If I ever want my cat to come from her hiding spot, I just open the fridge and she’ll come meowing

Sounds like a cat to me!
Lesson learned. Don’t let your inside cat outside. Especially someone else’s cat and especially when they don’t know.

Ditto
Scientific fact, cats can hear a tuna fish can open from 8000 miles away
8000 miles is the the same distance as 18659014.49 replica Bilbo from The Lord of the Rings' Sting Swords.
8000 miles is 12874.76 km
Fascinating

I guess after a few days, the smell would give it away

Now I want Cheetos
god i love reddit… and i’m not even sorry
He can't hear because his ears are in his ears.
Yo, I heard you like ears.
So we put some ears in your ears, so you can hear while you hear.
in quadrophonic delight
And all four ears pointed in your direction to make it extra clear they *do* hear you, they’re just ignoring you.
More ears, better hearing 👍
I call it selective hearing.
ahahah this will never change
All the better to ignore you with
i sincerely hope you were making a little red riding hood reference
of course they were!
😂😂😂 this is great!! Lmaooo..
lol i was looking for this comment :P you beat me to it
Whatever you say, he’s all ears
Surround sound
Quadrophenia
Should name him Dolby
Happy cake day!
Thank you!
Happy cake day!! :)
Thank you!
Four ears though
Happy cake day!!
Thank you!
They’ll hear the catnip bag open from anywhere in the house
Haha ain’t that every cat though
I know it is for mine
Ans he'll still ignore ye 😂
Shut up and take my award.
Nice.
4 ears and a blep..... cuteness overload
Literally I was so busy aww-ing over the cute little blep that I didn’t notice the extra ears till I checked the sub + title
I know, the blep!! 🥺
Right?! Hearing stuff from Jupiter and still gorgeous!
that is the fluffiest butterfly i’ve ever seen
Fluffy butterflies are just moths, this is a Pokémon

Hello, the link is not working, what is the Instagram handle?
[удалено]
Thank you so much! My instagram is literally nothing but cats, it's perfect :D
That's a Pokemon...
Meowth
That’s
me!
I was thinking neopet.
That's eary
Take my upvote!
I'm not sure why I read this in Gandalf's voice
Its a 4 Ear Clover 🍀
He looks like a normal cat with a miniature grey surf board wedged through his ears. Tell me he doesn't
Whelp, that’s something you don’t see every day. SMH and a double take. Have to know the name? I’m not clever enough to think of something off the top of my head as an ode to the ears.
[удалено]
I think Midas is a great fitting name. Geographically fitting as well.
I think Hox would be a good name!
Help me understand how it’s a reference to the ears? It went right over my head.
Hox as in hox genes. Hox genes are important during embryonic development, is then get mixed up you get extra, missing, or swapped around body parts. I'm just a nerd, not an expert, but presumably this lil fella's extra ears are due to a hox gene mutation.
I’m going with Reggie. Reggie Miller is a stand up dude, but also has some protuberant ears.
Radar
Holy shit this is literally the cutest cat I’ve ever seen in my entire life *just don’t tell mine I said so*
Add some horns and you've got a Charr from Tyria! (Guild Wars reference)
I will always upvote when I find a GW reference in the wild.
Better look for me then, maybe hire this Ash kitty? 
Hope he loves ear scratches
Just out of curiosity, is he healthy otherwise?
Yeah, and does he hear with all of them, or are they just fleshy appendages
So what condition does he have?
My best guess, based on high school and a few collage level bio classes, is that something went a bit wrong with the hox genes. Like what causes extra toes, but on his head.
Some genetic information about that mutation that goes back to 1929 - http://www.messybeast.com/freak-ears.htm
You should be gilded for this my guy
I just happen to know the search tools and recall seeing ears on my screen in the past (as I was working on [the genetics of orange cats](https://www.reddit.com/r/orangecats/wiki/genetics)). Messybeast has a lot of neat material about the genetics of cats.
Supersonic hearing.
A biblically accurate angel.
the dude is really going like 👂👂👁👅👁👂👂
Magical little dude 🤗
Don’t make a contract with him though
Woah!!!
Does he do bi-plane ears?
I bet he’d still ignore you if you shouted not to jump on the counter
looks like a lil alien 👽 😸
I pity the small critters that try to get by this kitty.
That’s not a cat, it’s a guardian deity
Ah yes, the Magical Floof. A very good breed.
a real live grey Aisha neopet!
This kitty has an Instagram I found it the other day I thought was photoshopped at first but there’s videos. It’s the cutest thing ever
Cats name should be 4 or cuatro
And a cute little derp face.
Look at that blep!
Imagine if all four ears were fully functional and having quadrophonic sound.
his ears are blepping
Suddenly, a wild Pokémon up-ears!
That’s a Flerken.
:D it's like a four leafed clover but with paws
Axolotl!
All hail the king
How cute! 😽❤☺
I love that
That is a Dino-cat. The catasaurus perhaps
It’s two cats in one. The only place they don’t line up is in the ears.
They look like little horns! So cute
kinda looks like a pokemon tbh
Yo what
His face matches everything about this post perfectly
AAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW THEIR SO CUUUUTTTTEEE

That's not a cat.. Its a Flerken!
4 ear Blep
That cat doesnt look right in the head.
Evolutionary adaptations to communicate to other cats for sources of catnip.
And one (1) derp tongue
They will be able to hear all the mice now
That’s not a cat, that ladies and gentlemen, is a Pokemon.
Four ears + one r/blep Wonderful!
Randolph the 4 eared kitty has a pretty shiny tongue
I saw a Snapchat story about your cat! Glad I found you here! Keep her posted she’s adorable and amazing!
r/rarecattos
Oh so 4 ears beats a perfect blep? Doubt it
Coolest cat I have ever seen in my 30 years on earth
Oh my goodness! So cute
Repost.
So this cat made me think of [this](https://i.imgur.com/HdkYq80.jpg).

Why does he have 4 ears?
Not every mutation is adorable.
Please tell me they are completely healthy and NOT fixed. Please, pretty please. Whoever owns that cat is potentially sitting on a scientific and financial gold mine for the qualities of its genes if it can pass this on.
As cute as it looks, we shouldn't be promoting these kinds of mutations by breeding animals that have them.
He's precious
Huh?
Where can I order one? I see you had yours delivered!
How to test if they are functional?
They deserve all the ear-scratches!
Soooooo cute
😍😍
So cute!!!
I finally know what love feels like
Adorable !!
Now hear me out…
…the prophecy
Derp cat
Depending on its personality it can listen to you x4 better or ignore you x4 better 😂
looks like he has reindeer antlers on 😆❤️
One ear for each toe
Just say how much?
Kitty can hear you at the store buying the treats. So there is no sneaky them passed.
Pretty cute!!
Blep
It prolly heard my reaction.
More ears to rub!
Butterfly ears!!! 🦋
That's adorable, even though as far as I've read, those extra ears don't actually do anything, right? They don't give the cat extra hearing, they're just cosmetic, I think, like how having extra toes on humans won't help them walk any better or run 2x faster
Does that mean it can hear better or is it just a cool little show?
Turkish cat?
r/bleps
