 Basically this kitten is named Cy, short for cyclops was born with this facial deformity. I think its just sad. The kitty dies in one day. All the mothers litter were normal. What do you think about this??? Like I just think life is so unfair sometimes. Everybody is not born the same. |

Assuming it actually is real, I think it's sad that the kitten didn't manage to grow up and have kids. I would have liked to have seen the new cat-clops species.
But it is certainly a strange thing. It'd hard for me to believe that something so strange can be born and actually live, even if it is for a short time. |

It is endeed very weird. One eye...i can imagine that, but no nose at all?? That's really strange.
Of course it's very sad for the little kitten. She hadn't have the chance to live properly, but it's also sad for the mother, who loses a child. |

If AP vouched for its authenticity http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/0...nyet27501091906 I suppose it's real. But it's so hard to believe that at this day and age, gene mutation can still happen. I'm going to assume it only live for a day due to respiratory failure (no nose). It's bit creepy, don't you think?

Oh my god o_O.
If that honestly is real then all I have to say is: Damn,that poor kitten.ONE EYE! Just imagine life with 1 eye..especially as a cat x.x.I hope the owner doesn't exploit it too much and make a profit off of it or something,for that would be truely heartless and cruel.Poor kitty

Thats a little bit creepy keeping the cat in her freezer, even if it is for a good purpose in case scientists want to study it. The article said that the disease forms a single eye where the nose should be. Does that mean it can see through it? Shouldn't there be nose nerves not eye nerves in there or something. Poor kitty died in a day, at least it was saved the pain of struggling to live like that. This stuff could have happen to humans, maybe thats where we got the cyclops from.

Looks cool, not weird.
I would've adopted it if I was allowed to and if it was still alive. |

LocalSeer, if an eye formed where the nose should be, it would completely replace the nose, resulting in a functioning eye. Kind of like when a person is born with a sixth finger (that is properly formed).
And Moody, animals rarely mourn the death of offspring when it is only one out of a litter. The mother probably barely even noticed that her little mutant child didn't show up for dinner. Maybe the father of the kitten killed it. I mean, it isn't exactly a face one could be proud of, and the father would have had to endure constant torment and comments such as "I think I see the resemblance" and "Gee, he looks just like you!" I think that's a good enough motive for catslaughter. |

I never realized animal parents were so..uncaring >_>. I'm glad I'm human!
Also, I didn't read properly and didn't realize the kitten died! If it was killed by the parent I then ROAAARRR! Damn cats and their uncaring selves  .
