Four-eared cat

Some in the bar were passing the then-eight-week old kitten around, making fun of his extra set of ears, mocking his appearance and calling him names such as "Devil Cat" and "Beelzebub."
It wasn't quite love at first sight, but the Rocks felt sorry for the cat and offered to adopt the kitten from the bar's owner, who kept the animal caged atop the bar for his customers' amusement.

(bold emphasis mine)

Thank fuck someone had a heart and adopted the kitten.

He's a beautiful cat! Makes me wonder how long the litter had been at the bar and how long Yoda had been an "amusing spectacle."

There are days when I stand marveled at the indignities and cruelties humans inflict on each other and I wonder if we really deserve such. And then I read about things like this and realize, yes, every bloody ounce.

I can never see why people have hatred for cats. Black cats are cats get persecuted because of their fur colour, caused by some religious spite.

The poor kitten has no idea what is "wrong" with him, for as far as its concerned he is just another kitten. Perhaps to his mother he is a special kitten, in the same way as any kitten is in its mother's eyes.

sooooooooo cute! I think that first article may have been going for the shock factor, since the other articles mention that ze wasn't the only kitten being passed around. But either way, lucky kitten and lucky kitten-carers! :D Sooooooooo adorable!
