[D66] Garmonbozia: Olympische Spelen

[René Oudeweg]

Niet zo vreselijk als het EK voetbal, of deze lijst, waar de FC Erewhon 
probeert doelpunten te scoren anno '66.

"The place called "The Two Dogs" is featured in *The Bourne Supremacy*. 
In the film, "The Two Dogs" is a pub located in Goa, India, where Jason 
Bourne (played by Matt Damon) and Marie Kreutz (played by Franka 
Potente) are living a quiet life before they are discovered. This 
location plays a significant role in the beginning of the film, setting 
off the events that lead Bourne back into action."

  Two-Faced Cats: How Do They Get That Way?

*The famous two-faced cat, Frank and Louie (sometimes called 
Frankenlouie), passed away this weekat the ripe old age of 15 
<https://web.archive.org/web/20141208131511/http://www.telegram.com/article/20141204/NEWS/312049633>. 
The Massachusetts feline held the Guinness Book of World Records title 
for the longest lived Janus cat.*

Named for the Roman god Janus, who was usually portrayed as having two 
faces, domestic cats with two faces are extremely rare, noted Leslie 
Lyons 
<https://web.archive.org/web/20141208131511/http://felinegenetics.missouri.edu/lab-personnel/leslie-a-lyons> 
of the University of Missouri's Department of Veterinary Medicine and 
Surgery, who specializes in feline genetics. (Related: "R.I.P. Duecy: 
The Kitten With Two Faces. 
<https://web.archive.org/web/20141208131511/http://voices.nationalgeographic.com/2013/06/14/rip-duecy-the-kitten-with-two-faces/>")

The animals also generally don't live very long due to health problems 
related to their deformity—making Frank and Louie's 15-year run that 
much more impressive, Lyons said.

The cause of Janus cats isn't completely understood, but "we know 
there's a variety of genetic mechanisms that could cause it," Lyons 
said. Only DNA testing can pinpoint the exact cause.

Frank and Louie was a ragdoll cat 
<https://web.archive.org/web/20141208131511/http://www.cfainc.org/Breeds/BreedsKthruR/Ragdoll.aspx>, 
and while cats—both purebred and otherwise—can fall prey to a number of 
genetic problems, Lyons doesn't think breeding plays a role in the 
occurrence of Janus cats, since the condition is so rare.

*Lucky Feline*

Though it may have two faces, a Janus cat almost certainly shares one 
brain, Lyons said. (Related: "Venus the Two-Faced Cat a Mystery 
<https://web.archive.org/web/20141208131511/http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2012/08/120831-venus-two-faced-cat-genetics-animals-science/>.")

"I would suspect there would be brain-function abnormalities."

Lyons says the fact that other organs like the esophagus weren't doubled 
up likely saved Frank and Louie's life and allowed it to survive. (Take 
a cat quiz. 
<https://web.archive.org/web/20141208131511/http://animals.nationalgeographic.com/animals/cat-quiz/>)

"In this particular case, one [side] didn't have a lower jaw or 
esophagus. If you had both sides of the face eating, I don't know what 
kind of complications that would cause. Initially the complications are 
going to be with the ability to eat and breathe properly."

Two-faced animals aren't limited to cats, either, she added.

"It can probably happen in most any mammal, vertebrate, [or] marsupial," 
said Lyons.

*Compassionate Owner*

Although Janus cats often die young, when left to their own devices cat 
mothers will often abandon, kill, or even eat a kitten with such severe 
deformities.

Frank and Louie's ownerMarty Stevens has said in previous interviews 
<https://web.archive.org/web/20141208131511/http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newsvideo/weirdnewsvideo/8797652/Two-faced-cat-breaks-Guinness-world-record.html>that 
she took the cat home so that it wouldn't be euthanized, something Lyons 
applauds. (Watch National Geographic cat videos 
<https://web.archive.org/web/20141208131511/http://video.nationalgeographic.com/video/animals/mammals-animals/cats>.)

"It's very nice that there are individuals in our society that have this 
type of compassion," said Lyons.

"Like taking care of a handicapped child, they've taken care of a 
[special-needs] cat for 15 years."
