Hi, it's been a while since I posted. The last time it was about my 3 leggedcat, Thump.
This time it's about my elderly cat, Song, age 14).
I adopted her when she was 2 years old, and almost always fed her dry kibble, and she self regulated her eating of it. But when I got Thump, Thump...

I have a cat with a missing left rear leg. He was a tripod when I got him, so I can't give much advice about recovery from surgery. His name is Tiger. He gets around very well. In fact, one of his nicknames is Rocket. Here is his story. Tiger's story
I also recommend Tripawds. There are...
Thank you for taking the time to respond & for your comments. It’s been a rollercoaster of emotions but I’m glad to say Rasta’s been an angel at taking his meds & is doing well so far. Yes, that’s him in the avatar. I truly hope he will adapt. He hasn’t used the litter tray yet 😬 He is gorgeous...
Honey, it takes time. And you never truly get over the death of one you loved. Time just makes it easier to think about them. You’re going to cry and break down. Take your time. Remember- love hurts, sometimes, but, My God, it’s worth the pain. Think about the love. That’s what she remembers...
You definitely need a consultation. Depending on where the leg is missing, it may be a huge source of irritation to her and depending on the cause, there may be pain. Amputations are done of the entire limb for reasons that you can probably understand from watching your little cat.

Lucy is almost 20. She had three extractions today. During this, they found what appears to be cancer in her jaw (same side as the really really bad tooth). I knew it could be the case, though, so I was not surprised. We refused the biopsy as the doctor is pretty sure that's what it is and three...

...injured cat being pestered by an overly playful youngster is exactly as big a problem as the injured cat thinks it is. I've seen a threeleggedcat calmly shrug it off and just keep hopping away with steady determination...but many cats in that spot can't be that calm about it and get...
...she starts showing interest I might have to get creative with some baby gates, but I feel bad about doing that because of Meko, my threeleggedcat. Although she'd probably be able to figure out how to jump over a gate eventually, she's mostly just looked really sad and pathetic every time...
Thank you for helping this cat. I did watch your video over on FB and you are a real saint to have taken this on. Having said that, I am not implying that it will not go smoothly eventually. So, some info and questions.

If the vet bring up PTS grab the kittens and walk out. If the kitten has good appetite the infection can still be treated, if there is an infection. You might have to call around more to find a vet who will treat young kittens but you are their advocate. A kitten who is fed, gaining...
Panther is a beautiful kitty! Of course, I've always had a soft spot for black cats.:redheartpump:
