>>>A 3 legged cat may not make it outside<<<
We had a kitten thrown out along our road a few years ago - one rear leg totally mangled - took it to the vet and he tried to get it to mend, but to no avail.
So, for several years now we have had a great 3 legged cat - loves to go outside (but we seldom let her) She would probably make it with the exception of the foxes.
Whenever she gets out, we get our two rat terriers and they track her down, he puts a paw on the cats back to hold her down and the other one comes barking for us to catch the cat. Amazing how they learned that after only a couple of times seeing us go out and have to catch the cat. Smart dogs. LOL they are smart ones for sure... He will sit and say ‘Yum Yum’ in begging for table scraps, and if he has been away with us for a while, and he is ready to come home, he throws his head back and says ‘ Home, home, home’ and tapping your first finger on your thumb will evoke a huge toothy smile from him, curling his full lips and showing all his teeth.
