A cyclops kitten was delivered alive via C-section last week.

The one-eyed Bengal kitten, named Cleyed the Cyclops, was born with a single large eye in the center of his face. He, however, survived for "only a short time," his owners said.

Cleyed's owners were available to capture his brief existence on video, which they shared to the rest of the world through Youtube.

"We have a Bengal cat that was pregnant and only a day past her due date," the video description reads. "On Thursday October 4th 2012 I brought her into our vet and I am SO Glad that I did, We have an amazing veterinarian who did the C-Section procedure and if she didn't..... Mamma Kitty would be dead now."

It further states: "All of us in the operating room experienced a VERY RARE once in a lifetime (Hopefully) kitten births. To start off, both horns of the uterus were twisted together THREE times. After untwisting the horns our veterinarian started the surgery and she removed the first baby, the baby was handed to me and I started drying her off. A vet tech came in and I handed her the first baby and got the second kitten that our vet removed. WOW!!!! He floored me, I was in shock as I have only seen a picture of a Cyclops kitten like this ONCE ever... and that was on the internet. He was born alive and survived only a short time. This was a horribly sad experience, but very intriguing to us all."

Cleyed was not the first cyclops kitten to have been born.

In 2006, a photograph of a one-eyed kitten named Cy drew a little skepticism when it made its way online. It was, however, proven that the photo was authentic. The kitten, born in Oregon, lived for only a day.

Experts said Cy had the condition called "Holoprosencephaly," which causes facial deformities.

Another cyclops kitten, who survived for 15 minutes, was also born in Colorado in 2010.
