GRANBY, N.Y. - The one-eyed, noseless kitten that inspired an international debate last year over whether it was a hoax is coming to a new museum of oddities in central New York.

The museum founder, who believes in creationism, said the kitten is meant to launch another debate about how science and religion intersect.

The Oregon woman who owned the kitten said she turned down Ripley's Believe it or Not! and sold the remains to John Adolfi of Granby because she liked his religious reasons for wanting them.

"We didn't want Cy becoming a joke or part of a personal collection," Traci Allen said. "But John was so heartfelt, you could tell he was genuine and sincere."

Adolfi would not say how much he paid for the kitten, named Cy, for Cyclops. He said he plans to have it embalmed Wednesday at a local funeral home.

The kitten died in December, a day after being born. Veterinarians in Oregon said it suffered from a rare disorder called holoprosencephaly.

Cy will be displayed in a glass jar in the Lost World Museum, which Adolfi hopes to open in nearby Phoenix this fall.

Other exhibits will include giant plants and eggs, deformed animal remains and archaeological finds, Adolfi said.

really freaky looking and kind of weird.

[*Blow_Don't_SUCK*]

there was already a topic on this. Someone even posted a site that had a lot of pictures with deformed cats.

[hi-C]

Wow. It's already a joke if they named the damned cat "Cyclops."

Eh, we'll just put this in the lounge since it's an oddity.

I wouldn't be surprised, how else would they preserve it? It'd probably be floating in a liquid filled jar, the cat didn't look half as bad though. I wish some corrupted animals would live. :l

[*ranniel*]

Oh yeah, I actually knew about this already. My science teacher was talking about it in class, poor thing died.

that would be me. i posted it in the pictures forum though.

^yeah ...I was talking about the one Kyrogenix posted

[scenekidsgo__raw...]

I can't help but feel sorry for it.
It was cute in a way.
Too bad it/she/he died. D;

Yeah, but this is about a specific cat. If there's another topic about this same cat, then it'll warrant closing or merging.

I saw a pic of that on comcast.net, I thought it was a gopher or something...cyclops kitty cat.....freaky.

[juliar]

i've seen this about a month and a half ago.
alot of people were saying how it was probably photoshopped, but it wasnt. esp. because the people who owned the cat sent the actual picture card to the newspaper, and it's hard to tamper with pictures on a picture card.

[sprezzatura]

I feel sorry about that. But indeed it looks creepy!

[jennyjenny]

It looks like a monkey.

[iDecay]

It looks like a monkey.

I agree.

A couple of people were looking at them and everyone was like "EWWWW!!" Gah, I thought they were looking at porn or something. Poor kittens.

[much2muse]

It looks like a monkey.

thats what i said when i saw it!

anyway, poor kitty its sibling was normal.

[*SuzieRawkSoxx*]

Oh gosh. You see its things like this that make me cry....

[x1049]

I don't feel that badly for it. :/ i know it might come off as being insensitive... but meh. It's just a kitten, and it's probably best that it died so shortly after birth if you really think about it. What a horrible and difficult life it would have to endure if it had lived... I googled the disease and looked up it's symptoms... besides the external deformities, many major deformities have to do with the brain. It probably, quite simply would not be able to function at all.

I'm not religious at all. I'm a total Darwinist at heart, and am all for Survival of the Fittest. It's best that it died and that's that. PLEASE forgive me if i come across as being cruel and harsh.... meh... there's no real "nice" way to express how i feel about it.

For all of you that ARE religious, just take it as "God meant it to be that way" or some other rubbish. Take comfort that you didn't inflict the disease on the thing and be grateful that you didnt have to kill it yourselves. i guess.

As for its being in a glass jar on display, that's probably the best way to keep it preserved.

I must say, though, I do so enjoy a good medical oddity.

Displayed in a glass jar?!?!!

Why is that cruel? It's dead. It's not like it realizes that it's stuck in a glass jar. They do that for tons of other things, like bugs. But bugs are just icky, right?

At first when i saw the picture.. i thought it was a baby chick. After like a fw minutes of looking at it i saw the kitten >_> Half of me is like "awwn, that's cute" and then the other halfs like "uhhh -no comment-"

[marzipan]

oh........poor kitty. it's cute but ugly at the same time. lol

[*My Cinderella.*]

Wow. That's definately a rare kitten, I've never seen one like it. I can't believe they're displaying it in a glass jar.
