This incredible two-faced cat stuns onlookers with her unique half-ginger-half-black face, thanks to a rare birth condition.
Luna, a mix-up cat, lives with Janet Bell, 62 in Wythenshawe. Janet often stops them to inquire about their feline features.
Luna was adopted by a friend of the legal secretary after she lost her cat while on holiday. She then became pregnant.
Luna, a quirky kitten, is officially called a “chimera cat” meaning she has two sets DNA from two different embryos that were fused in her mother’s womb.
Two-year-old Chimera cat Luna lives with Janet Bell (62), in Wythenshawe. Chimera cats are born from two different embryos fertilized by two male cats.
The owner says that the fascinating cat lives in luxury and gets complimented everywhere she goes.
Jan stated that “Luna was my first kitten and when she came out of her mother’s womb, I told my friend, “I want that one.”
“I thought she was beautiful, and we couldn’t believe that, I’d never seen anything similar.”
‘Whenever she gets out of her house people will stop and look at her from the street.
“People will tell her how beautiful and unusually beautiful she is, or ask me about why she looks this way.

Jane revealed that Luna’s fans have been sending Luna gifts. Jane said she was once a dog lover, but she became a Luna person after seeing Luna as a kitten.
They can’t believe she has half-and-half faces.
Female cats can mate with more than one male partner simultaneously, which allows them to give birth to kittens from the same litter with different DNA.
A chimera kitten is created when two embryos with different DNA fusions. This replaces two separate cats with the same set of DNA.
Luna now lives a luxurious lifestyle, enjoying cuddles from Jan, her three grandchildren, Kai, ten, River-Lucia and Reece, 14. Luna also shares a special bond to River-Lucia, 4.
Jan said, ‘We were on holiday and Tara’s cat escaped while Tara was away. She mated with another feline.
“I’ve always loved dogs and never liked cats, but a friend promised me one of these kittens.
“When I saw Luna’s beautiful face, I fell in Love with her. Now she lives a very lavish lifestyle.
“People online think she is beautiful.”
“She even gets gifts from people who are captivated by her face.
“She’s a wonderful cat, she’s so well behaved even when she takes a bath.”
Cat’s in the basket Jane boasted that Luna is a stunning cat and is also very well-behaved.
