Meet Cyclopes, the one-eyed cat:

Cyclopes, the One-Eyed Cat

The poor kitten only lived a single day before it died. Here’s the story from Yahoo News:

Cy, short for Cyclopes, a kitten born with only one eye and no nose, is shown in this photo provided by its owner in Redmond, Oregon, on Wednesday, Dec. 28, 2005. The kitten, a ragdoll breed, which died after living for one day, was one of two in the litter. Its sibling was born normal and healthy. (AP Photo/Traci Allen)

Sometimes you just have to thank God for what you have.
