Behold! The one-eyed mutant cat!
PORTLAND, Ore. -- A photo of a one-eyed kitten named Cy drew more than a little skepticism when it turned up on various Web sites, but medical authorities have a name for the bizarre condition.
"Holoprosencephaly" 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.
Traci Allen says the kitten she named Cy, short for Cyclops, was born the night of Dec. 28 with the single eye and no nose.
"You don't expect to see something like that," the 35-year-old Allen said by telephone from her home in Redmond in central Oregon.
Allen said she stayed up all night with the deformed kitten on her recliner, feeding Cy a liquid formula through a syringe. She says she cared for the kitten the next day as well, until it died that evening.

You can't exactly see it, but if you look close enough, my cat is actually terrified...

I think that pretty well covers it.

That's disgusting. [:throwupsmiley:]
Some people are like slinkies, they aren't really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.
What The Fu[i][/i]ck?
I actually clicked on the link but decided not to follow through when the whole "don't blame us if you barf all over your computer" disclaimer thing came up.
Wise choice.
Wish I had made the same one.

I made sure to only look at the kitten, since I figured I could handle that. There is a search function.

After reading this thread, I refuse to click any links.

Thanks.

It's too bad that kitty didn't live. It would be a great addition to a garden labrynth.

I would draw stick figure of cats next to my name on the back of my shovel when doing my homework with a piece of coal.
Suck it.

Looks like a cyclops more than a cat.

Poor thing.
As for the link, I don't know why I'm surprised when I find out there are things like this on the internet. Wonder what PETA would think.
Not that I support PETA. I love animals but I'm not psychotic about it.

What did you do to the cat in your avatar then? Hmmm? That cat smacks of having his **** unwillingly violated by the owner.
