Cats are definitely some of the biggest rulers of the internet in today’s age. With their good looks, playful attitudes and the silly things they get into, it’s hard not to love them! Sometimes though, there’s a special cat that shoots to the top of Internet Cat Famedom. Venus is one of those cats!

Venus is a tortoiseshell cat living with her family in North Carolina. Her owners, Christina and Chris, also have two dogs and another cat. Only one of their pets has been purchased from a breeder, and that is their older dog. Venus was born in 2009 to a stray cat living near a dairy farm. When the kittens were old enough, the farmers put out ads to help find the kittens homes, and that’s where they met Venus.

Venus’s striking appearance is not the result of being a chimera as many had believed. Instead, geneticists believe the cause of her face is nothing more than an unusual expression of her calico genes! She is just a lucky cat to have been born so beautiful!

In animals, a chimera is the result of two different embryo’s joining together when they are in utero. It is a very rare occurrence, but when it does happen the results are usually amazing! When they combine, they form one organism that carries two sets of DNA! Depending on how they fused, their DNA could be completely different at one part of their body than another. Chimeras are truly interesting things!

Venus has risen to internet fame thanks to her gorgeous looks, but she doesn’t let the fame go to her head. Instead, she uses her fame to help spread the message to adopt animals instead of purchasing from a breeder. They advertise cats up for adoption who are in need of a good, loving home and even help raise money for shelters! She also likes to spread the message to be different. All around, this cat’s fame is only being used for good!

Of course, Venus isn’t the only famous cat in her family! Roo is her brother, and he is named after a Kangaroo because of how he likes to sit. Roo likes to sit up and balance on his hind legs, like a begging dog. It’s absolutely adorable! Roo is another rescue cat who has malformed front legs, causing him to sit like that!

Venus has over 1 million followers on both Instagram and Facebook! This famous cat is definitely living a life of luxury with her family.
