Cyclops the baby kitty has died

PORTLAND, Ore. Jan 11, 2006 — 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.

Allen had taken digital pictures that she provided to The Associated Press. Some bloggers have questioned the authenticity of the photo distributed on Jan. 6.

AP regional photo editor Tom Stathis said he took extensive steps to confirm the one-eyed cat was not a hoax. Stathis had Allen ship him the memory card that was in her camera. On the card were a number of pictures including holiday snapshots, and four pictures of a one-eyed kitten. The kitten pictures showed the animal from different perspectives.

Fabricating those images in sequence and in the camera's original picture format, from the varying perspectives, would have been virtually impossible, Stathis said.

Meanwhile, Cy the one-eyed cat may be dead, but it has not left the building.

Allen said she's keeping the cat's corpse in her freezer for now, in case scientists would like it for research.

She said one thing's for certain: "I'm not going to put it on eBay."

I wonder what was the main cause of death was.  My guess is that it just couldn't breathe properly suffocated from trying to eat.  I'm sure it could have also been the abnormal amount of pressure on its skull that played a part or something completely unseen...  

Regardless, I've been following this story for the past couple of days and it's a damn shame.  I really wanted to see what this cat would look like full-grown.

That's how you preserve dead animals.  People who send their pets to a taxedermist usually keep them in the freezer before they're stuffed.  In this case, the woman in preserving the cat incase anyone out there wants to study it for the benefit of other animals.

I'm actually curious about those news stories. SWAT shooting a teenager? "We'd tell you we're sorry for shooting you, but you're already dead. So we'll just pretend it's an accident so we're less liable."
I like to go down to the playground and watch the kids run and jump and scream, because they don't know I'm only using blanks.

Modern anime is a stagnant cesspool of regurgitated ideas.

They got it hanging right between Ozzy's urine stained underwear and Liberace's tooth polishing kit.

It (the defect) happens to people to.  I forget what it is called.  Holoprosencephaly? Something like that I think.  Came across pictures on the internet.  Very disturbing.

Yep, that's the name of the parent disease.  Cyclopia happens to be one of the symptoms of holoprosencephaly, among the numerous other facial deformities that the disease causes.  Do a Google search for cyclopia though, you get some rather interesting results--and it's not all limited to poeple and cats.
