My sisters cat had kittens and one had malformations. It was blind, had his neck in a u shape, so it'll always be looking to the back, it also had problems walking but mostly acted like a normal kitten...
I think from now on we need to have a disclaimer for the more extreme pictures....that's very sad and a bit scary.

What's sad, i think, is that the person breeds miniture cats. Miniture cats would sure be a good idea, except that it always ends up with health issues. I'm sure the breeder knows this but doesn't care to make money on selling unhealthy cats that live bad and die fast.

Absoloutely priceless, had me in stitches
, on a more serious note things like this happen i have seen pictures of much worse, like a cow with 8 legs, and there was that story of a kid whose twin brother was actually inside him eating him Blood and Bone, great fertiliser, most all cats should end up in this way especially considering the amount of native fauna they kill in australia
Hey! I saw that special about the twin inside the twin on discover health.barneygumble said:Absoloutely priceless, had me in stitches

Oh man, that freaked me out.
I know "it's a naturally occuring rare thing" but still... I got the willies.
I then asked my mom if I had a secret twin I didn't know about that stole my kidney in the womb.
She said no and called me a moron.

I think you are both confusing real life with the Venture Brothers on Cartoon Network
And I agree poor kitty, I think that they should put it down.

Man, that hurts seeing that. Things like this and related deformaties in humans really makes me question God in my mind.
Wonder if this is a direct correlation to generations of breeding??
What is really sad, is not that the kitten/kitties are born this way, but having to face putting it down because it could live a healthy happy life. Especially when its your cat.
PS; whats really strange, amongst all of life's issues problems, is how death units almost every species in this world.

But they'll probably keep it alive and let it suffer.

Not just that, they will take it on Letterman and have a laugh too.
I'm sorry that that kitten had to be born that way, and especially for the mother who had to deliver the kitten that way too. I do hope that they put it down, unless it can live without health issues (but I doubt that: it's got to faces and is a mini).

Poor Kitty..
I watch a lot of animal & natural history shows.
That kitten wouldn't have lived very long anyway, but I doubt it would have been in any discomfort. These things rarely are, but they never usually live long in the animal world....
There have been loads of other things documented like that over the years, goats, rabbits etc, and some only last a few mins/hours. The best equipped types of creatures to survive these abnormalities seem to be reptiles & amphibians.....
