Dear George,
I’m writing on behalf of your blog follower
and our friend, Freddy who needs some tips.
Freddy lost one of his front legs to an
aggressive bone cancer. His leg was amputated (from his shoulder) last week in
an attempt to save his life as the cancer didn’t spread.
He’s doing fine now, is under medication
and pain killers – he even jumped on the sofa. However, his mommy is very
worried about Freddy. She can use any tip and advice available. Please help her
to cope with the situation at this difficult time in their life.
Thanks & love
Fluffy
Dear Fluffy,
Of course Freddy's human is worried. She has only two legs and if one of hers was cut off, she couldn't get around at all. But we cats are superior legwise! We have four, double the human number, so if we lose one, we can manage perfectly well because we have still have three.
Yes, it takes a little time to get our balance. But we are superior to humans in that too. We have a tail. We can balance our bodies by moving that wonderful extra wavy limb. There's some very helpful information for humans about living with a feline amputee here.
Last week, Paco was reporting his disappointment with humans. Well, here is an example of a good human. She really has done her best for Freddy. I just wish that all humans were as loving as she is.
Tell Freddy from me get going on his three legs. Purr a lot to calm down your human.
We Cats Can Do It.
Cheers,
George.
PS. For people with disabled cats, there might be some useful information on Celia's website about disabled animals.

A couple of our neighbors in our building have three legged woofies and they are always running circles around their humans! They are happy little dogs and nothing stops them. Walkies anyone?

ReplyDeleteWe had a 3-legged cat for years and it amazed me how strong her other paws were and how her whiskers were much shorter on that side to compensate.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to hear about it Freddy! You'll be fine with your humans love & support.
