He flips a coin to see if he should be good or bad; but he uses a trick coin where both sides say to be bad.
Inside you are two cats...
this is probably chimerism, so that might be tblruer than you think
Both want dinner 15 minutes ago.
I think there might actually be two cats inside me. That or hobbits
both saw you enter the kitchen
One scratches at the door, wanting out. The other scratches back, wanting in.
They both share a single braincell
wow! i've never seen a cats colour split down the middle!
An even cleaner 50/50 face than my baby cat 😲 super cute
Gotta love our chimera floofs
Cat tax?
A remake of “Let This Be Your Last Battle Field” (Star Trek episode) but the aliens resemble cats.
Her arch enemy:
That’s one cute supervillain
I belive her name was Venus or Aphrodite or something. Forgot.
Cute chimera, though.
does this color thing have a name. like is it a specific genetic thing that causes it?
Chimera! It's, um, two pre-cats that became one cat at some point in utero. Literally two different genetics fused into one special kitty.
wait so its essentially like conjoined twins???
Exactly. But entirely fused into one being. It happens in all species, including humans.
I may be one, but never bothered to test for. Could also be a slight vitiligo. Dunno.
Does that mean two different parts of your body could have two different DNA? I think there's some crime story about this.
There is one widely published instance of a woman almost losing custody of her two children after a court-ordered genetic test returned a mismatch. Had to be pretty confusing to hear that the guy is indeed the father, but... Objection! You are not the mother of these children!
sorta funny to think about. we already seem to be two distinct people with each side of the brain. this would kinda make it moreso.
At least two distinct processes. Since we don't know how consciousness emerges we can't tell if the brain stem is strictly required, so the split-brain phenomena you're probably referencing might only shows that we got two major regions for higher brain function but not two separate… "souls"?
I swear we gonna learn sooooo much about consciousness once we're able to artificially (and safely, temporarily) link two brains together.
heck. I don't even think we have one soul.
Chimerism
Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.
With an adorable Soul patch
Or a badass goatee
It's one beautiful face. In no way is that two faces.
cute
