Midas appeared on Instagram three weeks week after she was adopted by Canis and her partner. 

Her mother, who was a stray cat, gave birth to Midas and her six siblings in a garden that belonged to a friend of Canis, who took the kitten on.  

Midas has two sets of ears - one set are her normal ears, and another, smaller set that poke out in the front.  

The adorable young cat also has a patch of white hair on her torso that is shaped like a heart.

Her appearance is unusual, but Canis said Midas had been checked by a vet and can hear perfectly. 

She said her cat seems healthy, but will undergo further checks in a couple of months to make sure no other genetic mutations are detected in her body. 

According to the pictures shared by her doting owner, Midas has been settling into her new home very well, napping in her bed and playing with her toys. 

'She is a very playful cat. But very friendly as well,' Canis said. 'She sleeps all day and is awake all night.

'She loves to sleep on my chest or shoulder,' the doting owner added. 

'She loves to play with yarns, (we have loads of them because of my business), she steals them and hides them somewhere we could never find,' Canis added. 

The kitten has also developed a friendship with the house dogs and loves to cuddle with them.
