All your cats are pretty FC!! I absolutely love the last two though. So cute. Makes me want more.

Does your kitty have 3 legs?

heh heh - nope the usual four. They could be littermates they look so alike except that mine's got a tad longer fur. That is so cool how he balances so well like that!

Cats are amazing creatures. I adore them.

She.

She does just fine. She has a slow crawl wherein she uses the "nub" like a regular leg (she has everything from shoulder to where the elbow would be), or she "hops". It's freaking adorable.

I saw a story on one of those "belive it or not" shows about a cat with TWO legs. She was taken in by a vet, who had to operate after an accident and amputate two legs on the same side of the body. She didn't think the cat would be ambulatory at all. But, like Tiki, she was just a kitten, and young enough to adapt. She runs like a champ all over the vet's office. Just amazing.

I hope my cats all live long, healthy lives. But once we start losing them (snif) and get back down in numbers and decide we're ready to take on more, we're only bringing in handicapped cats like Tiki. I'm so glad I've got her.
