The other littermate is normal and doing fine. The only thing I wonder about is the fact that newborn kittens do NOT open their eyes a day after their born. Their eyes are shut for a little while. Why is this kitten have a very obvious wide-eyed appearance when it is only 1-2 days old?

The other littermate is normal and doing fine. Poor little baby. I thought it was a bizarre hoax when I first saw the picture. However, it has apparently checked out. This AP report says the condition is known as "holoprosencephaly," a medical condition which causes facial deformities. According to the National Institutes of Health web site, a single eye is located where the nose should be in the worst cases. Snopes.com also lists this case as "true." http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060111/...s/one_eyed_cat MaryL

It is my understanding that the condition causes the kittens to be born without an eyelid, so the open eye is actually part of the defect. -Toni
