Three legs are better than two

 

Tanni the kitten with only 3 legs


One of the obvious ways we are superior to humans is that we have four legs. If we lose a leg, we still have three. If humans lose a leg, they only have one. And it is difficult to function on only one leg.

The only way that humans manage is with an artificial leg. There are difficulties with soreness fixing these to a stump. And humans have to re-learn how to walk with them. 

It's simple for us cats, if we are unlucky enough to be in a traffic accident. Good vets simply take off a crushed leg. It's no good leaving part of it that would just sort of wriggle around not touching the earth.

This is what happened to Tanni the kitten. Within 24 hours of  surgery she was walking round the vet's surgery. You can read more about Tanni's story at https://celiahaddoncatexpert.substack.com/  

She was living proof that it is better to be born a cat, than to be born a human.

We are just more athletic, more adaptable, less whining and in every way have better bodies than humans!

Help for cats whose humans show behaviour problems.

This blog is devoted to the study of human behaviour. We cats, who live with this sometimes unpredictable and always feeble minded species, can benefit from seeing their behaviour in its proper scientific context. The study of feline dilemmas, training problems, and difficulties with humans, can only benefit all of us. All of us train our humans - to buy the right food, for instance, but many of us do not have knowledge of how to improve our training methods. The human species is obviously not as intelligent as the cat, but nevertheless can learn quite a lot - if properly managed. Topics of interest include the use of claw and order, purring as a human reward, rubbing your human up the right way, when to bite, spraying as a method of making our wishes known, ignoring the human, human harassment, human inattention and sheer human stupidity. I welcome your questions. Photos can be sent via my secretary's website, www.celiahaddon.com This blog has been chosen as one of the top 50 feline blogs by Online VetTechprogramms.org
