Cyclops Kitten
// January 22nd, 2006 // My Stuff
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!

i feel so sorry for that cyclopia.i am glad i didnt come out to look like that
that poor kitty is not even close to being the worlds ugliest cat, the poor thing was born with a defect.
any one who would make fun of that cute kitten should be ashamed of thereselves. i love all animals, even if their the ugliest animal in the world.
i fell sorry for the cute little kitten.it is so cute n i wish it was mine. i dont care that it has 1 eye any thing living is a wonder!
Poor thing!!!!!
hahaha!!!
quite, it would certainly have gone under world’s ugliest cat had it survived, yet bless the poor kitty, he/she must have been pretty extroardinary for science (not sure if its a first, the named disorder suggests not) in birth and is further evidence that the mythological creatures we know were often based on perfectly plausible natural occurential rarities that were at the time unexplainable, facinating for anthropologists… all hail Cy! peace, kitty
that kitty is quite cute actualy but them dogs scare me ahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!
i feel very sorry for that poor kitten, i dont know how you could call he/she ugly. the kitten was a lovely extroardinary creature. i would love to have a kitten like that. power to the cy peeps. hehe
