Dogs and cats come in all shapes and sizes. We love them all! Here are some dogs and cats with the most unusual patterns on their faces. Some of the split face patterns are a result of a rare genetic condition called “chimera” and other are just rare fur patterns. We think they are all 100% adorable!

- 4. Chimera animals are cute as a button! But what are they? A Chimera is actually made up of two different original embryos. If they fuse together early enough, they will become one organism who actually is the fusion of two completely different individuals. In nature, they are very rare to come by.

Where/how do I get a kitty this awesome?
My kitty has a half black, half turtle shell face and white feet. I’m not sure what I should call her except, Kitty
The only way is to keep an eye out on adoption and breeding websites as it is very difficult to breed a chimera cat. You would be better off just adopting a cat from a shelter, as all of these cats are just as special as the ones above.
