Narnia, a chimera cat who has become popular online for his striking appearance, has fathered grey and black kittens.

Narnia, the famous cat, has a face with two colors, split right in the middle. Its two kittens born in 2019 each were of two separate colors.

Narnia, the famous cat, has a face with two colors, split right in the middle. Its two kittens born in 2019 each were of two separate colors. The domestic cat in Britain has gained popularity for its appearance. It is a bicolored male cat whose face is half grey and black. On May 29, 2019, Narnia's official Instagram account (amazingnarina) posted an image of two kittens, one grey and one black. The siblings, Phoenix (grey) and Prada (black), have each taken their colors from either side of Narnia’s face. The post's caption read, "My children have each taken a part of me."

Stephanie Jiminez, Narnia's owner, a cat breeder, told People magazine in June 2020 that Narnia has fathered many kittens who are all of the various colors. Jiminez added that Narnia might look like a chimera cat. According to National Geographic, chimera cats contain cells of types of DNA, which is caused when two embryos fuse. Jiminez also said that a geneticist performed tests and found Narnia to be having only one DNA. It is not clear what caused Narnia's fur to be bicolored.

Narnia has its own Instagram and YouTube page with over 2,54,000 and 723 followers respectively.
