Bilateral asymmetry is the scientific way to frame the question.

Strictly speaking the cat doesn't fit in. The head is halved but not the body.

I'd assume 99.8% of these mutations are dead-ends. No advantage and higher visibility disadvantage.

Maybe in the case of the parakeet there'd be a mating display advantage if it's a male.
