Introducing Yoda, a unique household pet who was born with an additional set of ears.
Valerie and Ted Rock, a couple from Chicago, welcomed the cat into their home two years ago after encountering him at a local bar, where patrons were passing the animal around and making light of his unusual appearance.
Since his adoption by the Rocks and the subsequent sharing of his image online, this two-year-old feline has gained international fame as a media sensation.
The Rocks have fielded inquiries from shows including Good Morning America, Fox News, and The Tyra Banks Show. Additionally, his photo has appeared in publications like the London Guardian and various British tabloids.
Despite his unusual look, Yoda—named after the iconic pointy-eared character from Star Wars—exhibits all the qualities of a normal, loving cat, and he brings joy to those around him.
His extra ears are believed to stem from a genetic mutation. However, Yoda’s owners remain vigilant about their beloved pet, fearing he could be targeted for catnapping due to his distinctive traits.
