7/26/2002: Siamese-sextuplet kittens

I'm not sure what you call this. I guess the proper term is "conjoined litter" but not really "siamese kittens", which would be the product of a siamese momma cat.

All six of these kittens are joined - somewhere! It happened in South Korea. The mother, "Nabi" ("Butterfly") gave birth to these four females and two males. They don't know whether it was the result of environmental conditions or just plain genetic defect. No word on whether they'll live or whether there'll be any attempt to separate. I'm guessing they are gone by now... sad.

And I just don't want to think of what kind of birthing process it must've took to eject these buggers. Ow.

And if they did live, and remained attached, and grew, I wonder how they'd get around? Rolling, I'd guess!

Here's another shot. Pretty wild.
