Poor kitty! In December 2006, a kitten was born with one oversized eye and no nose. Named Cy (short for Cyclops), the deformed feline had a disorder called holoprosencephaly, which is caused when the embryo's forebrain doesn't divide properly. The result is a single-lobed brain, facial deformities and often death. Though Cy lived for just one day, the kitten gained a sort of virtual immortality as news of the spectacle spread along media wires.
