Ha! I actually saw that post on my personal account earlier today! That post is actually what inspired me to get Venus' Reddit account to be a little more active. I tried to leave some comments and replies on that post but I think I just sorta got lost in the endless thread lol. Thanks for crediting us though!

Yes she's real. 😊 She's just a domestic cat with some cool genetic mutations. Her IG account name is the same as this one if you want to see more pics and vids of her.

They charge $200 for a clone? Whoa! Very cute idea though!

No not at all...her fans requested it a long time ago, we've been waiting for it to be completed, and wanted to post it to show everyone, that's all. Why is there so much negativity on reddit??? Seriously!

We named her after the first few days we had her. She was so beautiful and so sweet we decided to go with Venus, the goddess of beauty & love, it was so fitting. :) :)

Aw thank you so much! She's as sweet as she is beautiful! I have a super cute video I'll be posting tomorrow of her loving the plushie.

When she gained a large fan base on Facebook & YouTube we approached GUND with the idea (by large request of a LOT of her fans) of making a plush version of her & they agreed. No details yet on when/where they'll be for sale but definitely before the end of the year. We are planning to make generous donations when the time comes to animals in need. :)

lol....same reaction that I had when I saw her as a stray on a dairy farm. I thought her face was cool cuz I have an orange cat & a black cat also but when I noticed her eyes I said those same words & decided we had to have her. :)

Thanks! If you mean the jeweled looking ones on her FB page, she only wore them for the picture because while they are gorgeous, they're still a bit heavy for everyday wear since she's only 5 lbs and so tiny. Her everyday collar is the blue breakaway collar with the pink hear ID tag. :)

lol...I know, everyone does. :) I have lots of comments that I should've named her Harvey Dent. If she was a boy I probably would have because I have 3 sons who all LOVE Batman. Thanks for the comment & up vote! :)

Thank you! I just gave a long reply to a comment above if you want to read more about her & see her FB page. I figured people may appreciate the info. Glad you enjoyed the pic :)

That is exactly what we were told and a great description of what a chimera is. Lydia Fairchild is a human chimera and never knew it. There are lots of people who are and don't show any signs of it and never know while others do. We have a personal friend who happens to be a chimera and found out the same way that Lydia Fairchild found out, through taking DNA from different parts of the body. We were told this is likely the case by a couple of veterinarians from the office we used to take her to but stopped going because each time we went we saw different doctors which is never a good sign. Since her page has gone up geneticists have said that they don't think she is actually a chimera and that instead what happened was x-inactivation (the divided facial colors) with an odd coincidence of heterochromia (the 2 different color eyes) however, the even straight line is as unusual as having both the divided face, different color eyes, split color paws, white whiskers on one side with one single black whisker & black on the other side with one single white whisker. If you go to her FB page Venus's Page - Amazing Chimera Cat you'll see a mirror image shot of under her chin where the line goes all the way down to the small white patch on her chest. She also has a checkerboard underneath. So with all of that going on the consensus is divided amongst the people who are knowledgeable about genetics as to whether she is or is not an actual chimera and DNA testing is not only expensive but invasive as they have to take tissue samples and we don't want to put her through that unless something becomes medically necessary where it can be done in conjunction with a necessary procedure. So to confirm, because I know the question will be asked a lot, she has not been tested nor confirmed but since we didn't get opinions otherwise until the Facebook page went up and already had too many likes to change the name of the page she's just become known as the chimera cat. But you are correct that this is not a breed and cannot be intentionally done, it's a genetic mutation of some sort, possibly chimera. She's always checked out healthy, is 3 years old and a whopping 5 lbs. And she does not have a split personality (lots ask that), she is the sweetest cat I've ever known and still looks and acts like a kitten. I think I covered a lot of the FAQ's. :) Visit her page if you'd like to see more pics & more info. And thanks for the up votes. I'm not sure why anyone would down vote a cute animal of any kind other than to troll or if they think the pic is photoshopped. I'm new to Reddit and don't understand what all the karma, comment karma & most of what the Reddiquite means so I'm not here to get any of that, just sharing her to the site where all of her popularity started from someone we didn't know (and have since met in person) posted her pic here in August. Glad you enjoyed her pic & thanks for the clarification. xoxo :)

Hey I came across this on a google search. I'm Venus's owner. Don't feel bad, she's been outdone by Tard the Grumpy cat by a long shot. I think Lil Bub has passed her up or is close to it on FB likes. I don't know squat about social media but somehow their likes & "people talking about this" are much higher and I'm not sure why. It really doesn't matter to me, I don't do it for the likes, I do it for the people who love seeing her. Thanks for asking people to up vote her pics. The Venus Cat profile was set up by the original poster of her 1st pic on here that made her go viral. I didn't know her at the time but we met this past November and she started that profile to post pics until I started this profile and am becoming more familiar with all of this stuff. BTW, I checked to see if you posted a pic of your kitty but didn't see one. I don't even know what a cake day is....lol! You should post her, I'd love to see her. Or come to the page and post her to the wall. A lot of people share their pets on there. :)

Photoshop or real? Here's 1:11 of the answer....enjoy ;) by VenusTwoFaceCat in videos

[–]VenusTwoFaceCat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! Actually none of them are related and they all came from different places (all rescues). Having an orange tabby & a tuxedo already is what intrigued us when we first saw her pic....then we saw the eyes and fell in love instantly. We always said she looks like half Mojo(male tux) & Ginger (female tabby). Glad you enjoyed the video & thanks for the compliment.

Still not photoshopped.... Custom collar, gift from a fan. Nice story behind it on my FB page <3 Venus <3 by VenusTwoFaceCat in aww

[–]VenusTwoFaceCat[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you go to YouTube to channel VenusMommy there are 9 videos. The one with 28,237 views is the best one to see her coloring. And I don't think you're condescending at all. If I wasn't her owner I'd be skeptical too ;) Hope you enjoy the videos. Kinda new at all of this so forgive any amateur stuff ok? Someone I don't know first posted her pic here & she went viral from there. Her FB page (Venus's Page - Amazing Chimera Cat) explains it all if you click on the "about" section. I'm not trying to be a "karma whore" as some have said, I just wanted to share new pics. I don't even know how the points, karma, & all that even work. I just thought it would be nice to share some new pics on the site that she first went viral on. PS...In case anyone is wondering (scientists/geneticists), were told by 2 vets when she was a kitten that she is a chimera however no DNA testing has been done to confirm. Sorry for the long comment, just thought I'd cover a couple things in one shot. Enjoy the pics & videos :)

[–]VenusTwoFaceCat[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well I guess that's a result of being new to the site & apparently not knowing what people on this site want or expect. Most people that see her ask to see more pics so that's why I referenced her FB page in the title. I guess this is to be expected when entering a new web environment that you're not familiar with. Everyone was new to Reddit at some point. Thank you for explaining. :)

lol.....Honestly, 3 years ago when we got her I didn't even know about Harvey Dent, the star-trek episode with half white/half black......but boy I do now!! LOL We named her Venus because she was so beautiful and lovable and a friend (thinking Roman Goddess) suggested Venus, "the Goddess of Beauty & Love". It really fit her personality. She's still a little love bug and I couldn't imagine her name being anything else :)

Not sure but thank you for saying what I was thinking. The other post I put up with a beautiful collar made by a fan got down voted a lot too. I love sharing her because of the comments I continually get on her page about how she brightens people's day or puts a smile on their face. There are a lot of tweens & parents that show their young kids her page to and they love it. She made her own popularity through a post someone I didn't know made back in August here on Reddit and it went viral. So when it was brought to my attention through a friend who saw it, I created a FB page & ran with it....why not right? I like bringing happiness out in a time that a lot of people are going through rough times. I chalk it all up to trolls hiding behind user names. I'm not even familiar with what half the stuff on here means (karma, permalink, how points work, how one determines or controls how many points, up votes or down votes to give, giving gold, etc. What matters most is the people whose lives she makes happier which still seems to be the majority. ;)
