6. That's a beautiful, contented looking kitty.

It doesn't surprise me how well she gets around.

Many years ago, one of our rescues, before we brought him in and he was about 5-6 months old, got caught in the fan blade of a car when it was started up. He lost his left front leg at the shoulder.

While we were at the vet during the surgery a game warden came in and told us about a dear that he brought in and instead of putting it down they amputated it.

He said that the only thing faster than a four legged dear was a three legged dear. An anecdote sure but one that I remember.

Anyway, our cat, we named him Tuffy, could jump from the floor, to the top the fridge in one leap, which was almost as tall as I am.(6'2&quot

He allowed us the privilege to care for and love him 13 years. He was one the most lovable cats we ever had.
