Frank and Louie died.

Two names, one cat.

http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/2-faced-cat-with-only-9-lives-dies-at-15-5938257.php

This cat had two faces — but only nine lives.

A feline named Frank and Louie after he was born with two faces, two mouths, two noses and three blue eyes has died at the age of 15.

The Telegram of Worcester reports (http://bit.ly/1vo8q09 ) that Frank and Louie died Thursday at the Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University in North Grafton....

Frank and Louie made it into the 2012 edition of Guinness World Records as the longest-surviving member of a group known as Janus cats, named for a Roman god with two faces.

How would you feel waking up on Jan 2, after drinking a bit too much and have that looking at you?

Being too lazy to look this up, I think Siamese twins and Frank and Louie are twins that didn't fission completely.

The kitties had one brain according to one report I read, so I would be inclined to think of them as one person, although clearly they were on their way to being two and nature went out to lunch.

Fifteen years is a good lifespan for a cat, though. Cross the Rainbow Bridge in piece, little guys.
