Meet Nanny McPhee-the rare cat with two noses
Cat McPhee
Cats are famously said to have nine lives. But one cat has become famous for another numerical reason – its two noses.
The “one-of-a-kind” double-snouted moggy has been taken in by Cats Protection’s Warrington Adoption Centre.
Staff at the centre, in Cheshire, have named her Nanny McPhee – after the fictional film character with a distinctively shaped nose.
Staff initially believed the four-year-old feline had one large nose.
However, a check-up from veterinary staff revealed it to be two.
“A cat with two noses is a first for us in the field vet team,” says Fiona Brockbank, a senior field veterinary officer at Cats Protection.
“This is a real rarity and, thankfully, it isn’t causing her any problems at all.”
Ms Brockbank says Nanny McPhee has what doctors call a “congenital malformation”.
These conditions are commonly referred to as “birth defects” because they develop inside the womb.

A brown bear wandered into a hotel in Tibet and forced its way into a locked room with two guests inside.
Security camera footage from the hotel in Nagqu shows the bear wander down a hallway inside the building on Saturday and force its way through a door into an occupied room.
The guests in the room said they stared at the bear for a few seconds before it left the room on its own.
The hotel owner used a flashlight and other tools to scare the bear and chase it out of the building.The door has since been repaired and the hotel said it is adding additional security measures to keep bears out.
