Woman Keeps One-Eyed Kitten's Body In Freezer
POSTED: 1:29 pm CST January 12, 2006
PORTLAND, Ore. -- A Redmond woman whose photo of a one-eyed kitten was posted on the Web says she is keeping the animal's body in her freezer in case scientists would like it for research.
Doctors have a name for the bizarre condition. It's called "holoprosencephaly" -- a deformity that can result in a single eye located where the nose should be.
The rare deformity typically results in death. But the little kitten that was born at the Redmond home of 35-year-old Traci Allen on Dec. 28 stayed alive for a few hours after Allen fed it with liquid formula through a syringe.
She said she named the kitten "Cy," or short for Cyclops, after it was born with the single eye and no nose. Allen said despite the media interest in the deformed kitten, she will not put the body on e-Bay.
