Cyclops Kitten

// January 22nd, 2006 // My Stuff, Newsy Goodness

I’ve been shown this poor little kitten a couple times now, so after feeling confident about it’s validity, I figured I should blog it…

According to some sources, the shortly lived kitten suffered from Cyclopia, a medical disorder characterized by the fusion of the orbits into a single cavity containing one eye.

Other places report that the cause was Holoprosencephaly, which causes facial deformities, according to the National Institute for Neurological Disorders and Stroke, part of the National Institutes of Health. In the worst cases, a single eye is located where the nose should be, according to the institute’s Web site.

Anyway, the common report from the AP provided by Yahoo news:

Cy, short for Cyclopes, a kitten born with only one eye and no nose, is shown in this photo provided by its owner in Redmond, Oregon, on Wednesday, Dec. 28, 2005. The kitten, a ragdoll breed, which died after living for one day, was one of two in the litter. Its sibling was born normal and healthy.

Traci Allen is keeping the kitten’s corpse in case science wants to research it. I wish they would so I could feel even more confident this poor thing is real… If so, maybe it would qualify as world’s ugliest cat!

    Cy is beautiful. and those that think he is ugly go fuck yourself. He is one of God’s creatures and all of God’s creatures are beautiful. I wish he lived and were my cat. He is in heaven now where he won’t be judged by stupid asshole humans.

    Anybody who ever owned a cat that gave birth should know that kittens open their eyes a week after birth. The picture is a feke, unless that kitten lived for more than one day.
