My Kitty Friends!

here are the kittens that had a rough start. the black and white one, oswald, had the deformed back legs. look at him now! he is doing great. his back legs do seem a tad bit longer than they should be and he might walk just a bit different but unless you know it, he seems normal. his brothers name is tiger. he tried to come out at the same time as oswald. oswalds tail was out and tigers feet were out. very confusing. they were pretty stuck. luckily they lived unlike the one that died. don't kill your kittens if their back legs are messed up!!

his eyes are still a little yucky but the vet rx is definitely helping

oswald was dipping his feet in the water dish. that's for the dogs so they must not have felt like climbing the gate.

oswald was getting ready to attack his brother

aren't his legs cute. he's really fuzzy and soft. i think he'll have longer hair then us regular cats!

oswald, tiger, and i sleep together when i'm not with the bunnies. i got to take them out to play the other day but they had to stay in the front.

Sometimes I'm Nice

here i am napping with oswald the deformed cat. his legs are all better but my human discovered that on one side of him he only has half his ribcage. the rest seems to have piled up into a lump of bone. it doesn't seem to bother him though. he's a really sweet boy. i heard the human ask what me and oswald would make!!! what the? no way!! i am not having kitties!! she's crazy!!

here we are sleeping

here i am biting his ear i was trying to play but then i went back to sleep!

DEFORMED KITTEN!!!!

kira the cat had kittens and it was horrible!!! there were only three. this one my human calls "funky legs" was first. it looks like someone put his legs on backwards!! the second one was born with it's intestines on the outside of it's body and died almost immediately. the third kitten appears to be normal, though i won't be surprised if it sprouts wings and starts flying around. i'm thinking of selling tickets. we'll call it "geralds freak show". seriously the condition is twisted legs and with a little work kitty might be okay. it's kind of gross to watch him move around but he does a great job. i overheard a visitor saying we needed to "off" the little guy. what the ****!!! there will be no kitten killing here!! geesh i hope i never lose my hind legs. after some reading there is some wacko in texas that breeds cats so they will have twisted front legs. now that's sick!! i think they are called twisty cats. well i have to go do my turn on kitty watch cause the mama is acting strange. hope they all came out.
