That duck rules. Does it have wings? Can it actually use all its legs? What's its dream date like?

― Øystein, Thursday, 22 February 2007 14:05 (eighteen years ago)

It can only be caught by a cat with ~~four~~ six paws.

Man, I thought I was kidding too, but...

The ducky is not a mutation so much as a development error.

Also, farmcats always have fucked up feets.

Man, I spent an afternoon once looking at deformed animal photos, like cyclops kitten, and I just felt so bad for them all, and disturbed, that I couldn't get to sleep. I had to read a whole bunch of MAD paperbacks to calm down.

― Abbott, Friday, 23 February 2007 03:34 (eighteen years ago)

I think deformaties are cool/cute usually.

― Windy G Moisture, Friday, 23 February 2007 03:44 (eighteen years ago)

Not poor, poor cyclops kittem. :(

― Abbott, Friday, 23 February 2007 03:48 (eighteen years ago)

That sounds awesome.

Stumpy's Diary

― onimo, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 12:20 (eighteen years ago)

If Stumpy bred, would his offspring inherit his multi-leggedness?

cyclops kitten

by far the most disturbing -- when I saw it I thought "that must have been photoshopped". If it wasn't it does beg the question, have their been any incidences of real cyclops humans? The standard explanation of the myth of the cyclops is that ppl found the fossilized skulls of elephants on Mediterranean islands and assumed that they were the skulls of giant humans, with the hole for the trunk being the eye socket. But if a cyclops kitten mutation *is* possible I see no reason why a human w/ the same condition being possible, too.

Incidentally, have a friend who adopted a cat which had no eyes.

― Grandpont Genie, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 12:34 (eighteen years ago)

iirc cats with extra toes are particularly adept at climbing and were much sought after in the days of sailing ships as they could be used for pursuing rodents up the rigging.

― Grandpont Genie, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 12:45 (eighteen years ago)

Yes, it's called Cyclopia and it's not very pretty.

I had a "friend" in middle school who ~~bred~~ inbred rats, one of them was born with one eye. It was in the normal place though, there was just a sad little empty socket on the other side.

― nickalicious, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 14:14 (eighteen years ago)

I wonder how common developmental abnormality is in domestic golden hamsters? All domestic golden hamsters are in-bred as they are descendents of a single litter dug up out of their burrow near Aleppo, Syria some time in the 1920s or 30s.

She is a titless freak.

I don't know her that well - but what about the picture she posted?

Stumpy has been painted for a local art exhibition.

Also: Saturday 21 April - well it's finally happened Stumpy's been asked to open his first store!! He's been invited to open the Pets At Home store in Eastleigh so watch this space for further details. I'm sure his head's going to get too big to go in his house at night soon!!!

Gah. This thread has reminded me of my bizarre interesting work experience job in high school. I managed to score work experience at the J0hn Curta1n school of medical research, because of my interest in biology at the time. I one day wandered into the medical library when I had some idle time, and somehow happened across a rack of books on human birth deformities. Christ on a bike. Babies with their skulls missing and their brains exposed. Heads and bodies that looked like nothing at all human. Newborns covered in dense black hair. Wigged me the fuck out, it did.

Then again so did the experiments they did on cats and monkeys and whatnot but lets not go there ugh.

― Trayce, Friday, 2 May 2008 11:58 (seventeen years ago)

Oh no what of the lady friend??

― Tracer Hand, Friday, 2 May 2008 12:01 (seventeen years ago)

It's a mystery - and Stumpy's not updating his blog anymore now he's lost his typing appendages :(

― StanM, Friday, 2 May 2008 12:08 (seventeen years ago)

Poor Trayce. This book though, it has my interest.

― RabiesAngentleman, Friday, 2 May 2008 12:19 (seventeen years ago)

I wish I could recallwhat the book was :( It was a medical tome of some kind. Oh god, the pics :(

― Trayce, Friday, 2 May 2008 12:21 (seventeen years ago)

I don't want to make you think about these horrifying images more than you have to, but if you do ever remember the name of the book...

― RabiesAngentleman, Friday, 2 May 2008 12:29 (seventeen years ago)

I looked through a book called Very Special People about 30 years ago, and I was much more fascinated than I would have thought I would be. Via Google I think this is probably it.
