Polydactylism applies to ears as well as toes for kitties.

Cats are special, because any mutation actually makes them even cuter. Down syndrome cat? Extremely cute. 4 ears? Dangerously cute. Additional thumbs? Hazardously cute. They just can't go wrong.
Okay cats can't get Down's syndrome, but your aside definitely gave me pause.
Does this cat have extra ears??
So he can hear in 4D
I’m not sure what those are, but I think they are adorable.
It's called the double ear mutation! It's a known recessive gene that appears in some cats.
Yes. I share the link in another comment.
Oh thanks! When I was here before I was the only comment… or maybe they just didn’t load or something. 🤷🏻♂️
No. She is bleping out of her ears.
The cat is named Midas and he hears just fine with the extra set of ears.

I'd be so tempted to name that cat "What?" or "Huh?" Lol
I'd probably go with "Radar" or "Sonar" or something like that.
What's the ear situation here?
According to the link I shared:
Wish I knew!
I think you meant, ear ear, wots all this about then.

Also he's constantly bleeping. Does it go along with the mutation?
