If Cruella De Vil Was A Cat, Then She Would Probably Look Like This
Some cats are cute, and then there are cats like Geri, who look like they walked straight out of a Disney villain sketch. Her split black-and-white face, paired with a rare genetic condition called chimerism, has made her an instant internet favorite.
Geri is a Persian ragdoll with a look that turns heads from every angle, and her photos have spread fast because of it. Her owner has even had some fun with the comparison, dressing her up in a Cruella De Vil costume and sharing the results online.
One glance at Geri is enough to see why people cannot stop talking about her. Read on.
This is Geri, a beautiful Persian ragdoll with a rare genetic condition called "chimerism."
"I found her at my favorite pet shop in 2019. She was 2 months old. I used to be a dog person, but as soon as I got her, I became a cat person, lol," says Erika, Geri's owner.
If you look at her from the side, she appears to have two totally different faces!
Geri has become very popular on the Internet because of her peculiar beauty.
Erika says she is so happy for Geri!
"This makes me realize again that I’m the lucky one to have Geri."
Chimerism occurs when an organism forms two or more zygotes.
That unusual face is exactly why people keep sharing her photos.
Her beautiful photos truly do justice to her beauty, even if people only see her behind screens.
"I truly enjoy taking photos because, as part of my job, I used to be a travel writer. Also, Geri shows me lots of expressions, and I find it very lovely, so I take photos of her a lot. I’d like to enjoy and keep every moment with her," says Erika.
Calling someone two-faced might be an insult, but to this cat, it actually refers to something beautiful.
Just look at how adorable she is!
Here's Geri's owner trying to match her cat with a Cruella De Vil costume.
Geri even has a younger brother named Taiga. She says:
"She has a younger brother, Taiga (the white one). They are actual siblings with the same father. Taiga loves her so much, always following her, which makes her annoyed, and they end up fighting. But sometimes she licks Taiga, and it makes me so happy."
Her owner clearly knows how to lean into the joke.
