This is Yoda, a household pet born with an extra set of ears.
Valerie and Ted Rock took the cat in two years ago after visiting a bar in Chicago, Illinois, where a group of curious drinkers were handing him around.
He was one of a large litter, and the Rocks were happy to offer him a home.
Now the couple have to keep him indoors to prevent their rare pet from being cat-napped.
Despite sharing names with Luke Skywalker’s diminutive mentor in the Star Wars films, this unique moggy does not have Jedi powers – in fact he does not even have special hearing.
The extra ears are merely flaps of skin, and do not detect sound.
Still, the neighbourhood’s mice will not taking any chances.
I think it does have Jedi powers. You can see it in the expression on its face. It looks all serious and using-the-Force like.
