Meet Quimera, a cat with a perfectly split facial coloration. One side is bright orange, while the other half is jet black.  The cat’s unusual markings almost make it look photoshopped, but it’s an entirely real animal.  Known as a chimera cat, a rarity where you’re technically your own fraternal twin (!!), this particular cat even has heterochromia, where each eye is a different color.  The result is a face unlike any we’ve seen before.

Aside from her amazing face, the cat is a pretty normal pet, with the quirks, independence, and personality that most cats have.
