That could be due to a mutation in sonic hedgehog.

I know that sounds like a joke, but it's not.

Edit: Taking a closer look, that cat definitely has a sonic hedgehog mutation. That's the source of what looks like a split in the nose, plus the eyes being set slightly far apart.

For those without context...

Ahoge (アホ毛, アホげ), literally "foolish hair," is a visual cue common to Japanese anime and manga. Consisting of a single cute, often long, lock of hair sticking out from the top of the head, it is most often used to identify foolish, bumbling or carefree characters.

Yes, due to a sonic hedgehog mutation.

That's not a joke.

Must get bad reception with such a tiny antenna. Explains why it takes them so long to download the braincell.
