The discussion centers around a photo of a one-day-old cyclopean kitten, raising questions about its authenticity and the phenomenon of fetal anomalies. Participants express surprise that the mother cat did not consume the kitten, which is common behavior for cats with unhealthy offspring. Observations highlight that kittens are typically born with closed eyes, making the large eye of the cyclopean kitten unusual. Skepticism arises regarding the image's authenticity, with concerns about potential digital manipulation. Some contributors reference their experiences with preserved human fetal cyclopes, noting similarities in eye size and exposure, which lends some credibility to the image. However, doubts remain, especially regarding the nature of the source and the possibility of the image being staged or faked. The conversation also mentions that the original memory card containing multiple angles of the kitten's photo is in the possession of the Associated Press, and the kitten is being preserved for scientific examination.
