I wonder if the cat tries to groom them?

Oh my gosh! That is remarkable! We had a cat that met with an unfortunate accident when a neighbor shot at what he thought was a raccoon with his compound bow. She had to have her left rear leg amputated. We called her our tricycle cat! But the vet told us that cats adapt very well to amputation. He was right. She was busy running down squirrels and rabbits and leaving their tails and ears on our doorstep in no time.

The poor kitty!

But at least He can get around and get some pleasure out of life.

Science CAN do a lot for our pets.

That's great. I did a post about a dog with artificial legs. Cats would probably adapt even better.
