Stephanie Jimenez has an unusual pet in France—a three-year-old cat named Narnia. His appearance is mesmerizing: one half of his face is deep black, the other light gray. Combined with his bright blue eyes, this makes the cat a real social media star.
Narnia recently became a father. His owner decided not to deprive her pet of the opportunity to continue his lineage, and nature once again showed its imagination. The kittens turned out to have the same contrasting coat colors: one was born completely gray, the other black. Despite their differences, each of them easily reveals the traits of their famous father.
More than 246,000 followers follow Narnia’s life on Instagram. Fans have come up with many nicknames for him: Terminator, Two-Faced, Chimera. The latter name is also used by scientists to refer to animals with a rare type of coloration, when two types of DNA are present in the body due to the fusion of two embryos.
However, in Narnia’s case, it’s not that simple. According to genetic analysis, the cat is not a chimera in the strict scientific sense. Why his fur is divided into two colors remains a mystery, which only fuels interest in this amazing animal.
