A genetic abnormality gave Yoda, of Downers Grove, Ill., four ear flaps instead of two.Ted and Valerie Rock first spied the little guy in 2006 at neighborhood bar on the South Side of Chicago before a Bears game. He was the last of a litter of eight put up for adoption by the bar's owner.
The Rocks, who had lost their cat of 20 years just 6 months prior, saw something special in the gray kitten and decided to take him home.
The abnormality can cause hearing impairments, though Rock said several veterinarians have given Yoda a clean bill of health.
"He is perfectly normal, hears well, energetic, cute little cat," Rock said. "Very friendly, very social."
