Meet Apricot, the adorable Tennessee-based rescue kitten with a two-toned face.
Apricots striking face is half ginger tabby, half tortoiseshell.
She looks like two cats merged into one, and in fact, thats exactly what she is.
Apricot is a rare chimera cat, which means she was born with two sets of DNA.
Shes the result of two embryos fusing together inside her mothers womb.
In other words, Apricot is technically two fraternal twins combined into one individual cat.
Olive and Pickle will continue to nurse Apricot and her littermates until theyre strong and healthy.
Apricot and her family are NOT currently available for adoption,saysNashville Cat Rescue.
They need lots of growing, weaning, and veterinary work first.
