UPDATE: Part 2

I am renaming him Timmy. He reminds me too much of Tiny Tim, so thats who this little guy is, Timmy! I have a vet appt. today for him at 2:40 so pray that his testing comes out negative for leukemia!

UPDATE: He tested NEGATIVE! Yay! And what a great little guy he is. The doc believes he was born with a slight birth defect, and after doing some Googling on my end, its a lot like mild radial h

ypoplasia. Some people who see a cat with with this might think it has both back legs are broken. They walk in a shuffling or scrabbling motion. They are walking on the crooked part of their leg, not the paw. Mildly affected cats may get along just fine, but have a peculiar bobbing gait. I swear, he looks like Tiny Tim from A Christmas Carol - the original movie made in 1938! Some affected cats are found among feral cat colonies, but unless the colony is being fed by someone, RH cats are unlikely to survive outdoors - they cannot hunt, cannot run from predators, traffic or malicious humans and cannot defend themselves if molested. In addition they are likely to be singled out for abuse because they are different and therefore "easy targets". I am SO GLAD I RESCUED HIM! And he was so good during the examination! Not a peep out of him! He will be neutered next! And then hopefully, someone very lucky will adopt him. :)
