Animals adapt much easier than humans to such things! I am sure she will have a few bad days but not like a human would. I am glad you went to another Vet. You now feel better, knowing just what is going on and what can be done for her. Hang in there because you are going to feel really terrible when you bring her home, just because you love her and she can not tell you what she is feeling. Just love her and give her the space that she needs to adapt to what is going on. It will not be long before you and the cat will act like nothing has ever happened. Our furbabies should can steal our hearts and in a hurry! Hugs, Linda.

thank you for the update my friend. Good news she will be alive, and she will have less pain when the leg will be amputed. of course it will be difficult for you and for her. she will have trouble in the beginning and perhaps does not understand what happend. but I'm sure ; before you know she will get used to walk on three legs, and do the things she did before, Hope she learned from this and stays in the safety of your garden. please give her an extra hug and love from me. And hugs/love for you too. It must be hard to see her like this. but she will feel you do all you can for her.

I am so glad to hear you found a new Vet that will work with you. She looks so much like my little one who is sitting with me as I type. Prayers are with you & yor little kitty. Please keep us up dated. Arlene

Sissi, I am so very glad you found another vet!! Your poor little one will surely get better, and they do adapt quickly, because our little fur friends don't feel sorry for themselves, they just deal with what they have. What is her name? She looks just like my Polly, and my little Minou who passed away. Such a sweet little tiger cat. I think you should call the police, and make that boy from the village who hit her pay for the vet bills. I am so sorry there are such wicked people in the world. She has my prayers for her recovery, and I'm so glad you are the kind of person who loves her, and will give her the chance to live a good life. Maybe she should stay in the house from now on, to keep her out of harm's way. Big hugs for you and your kitty, Marji

I am so happy that you have found some relief and real help for her. She will be up and about in no time with your love and care. She's a lucky kitty to have to take care of her and not to give up on her. ;)

Sissi, good you have checked with an other vet. Yes an animal can live on 3 legs and she will always be gratefull you gave her that chance.
Keep us updated how the surgery and recovery goes

She is gorgeous. I am glad she has a chance of living a normal life.

She's a beautiful little girl - a kitten on the keys! I'm so glad she will be able to still live and give lots of love and purrs. God bless you and her! Love and purrs, Jan

So pleased your furry baby will be OK. hugs Helen

She is a really nice looking cat and I am sure she will do fine on 3 legs,they just accept it and go on with life, she's got 8 more lives to go!
Take care of yourself as I know these things are harder on us than them it seems.

That's kindof good news -at least that she will get to live and she will adapt very well, I'm sure. It is wonderful that she has such a caring owner -pity about those rotten kids who exist in the same world. Looking forward to hearing how well she is doing later on.

This is excellent news for you and your kitty. Have seen cats with three legs and they are amazing at how well they get around. So glad you were able to find a vet that will work with you. She has a sweet face.

Your a good mommy

I am so pleased for you and your cat. She will be fine with three legs. Hugs Sarah

Yes she will. I was going to mention the possibility of amputation, since I just recently helped a friend and her kitty. It does not take long to recuperate. We had a 3 legged kitty 35 years ago, so know they have been doing this for a long time. The less stress the better when she comes home.

I am so glad you got a second opinion for your cat. She is beautiful and will be much happier when she is settled with her 3 legs.

Glad to hear the vet was better and your cat will be feeling better soon. They function well on just three legs. She is beautiful. Glad they are helping you too. Suzanne

sept 19, Update :

Back from the vet : Minouche has a huge bandage to keep her leg as much as possible until the amputation

our pets are family & very precious to us. I am glad to hear she is on the mend! Hugs Loralye

Your kitty has the same color markings as my Tigger, What is her name? Happy outcome to a terrible situation. Hugs...

She is so precious! I will be praying for you both, and know God will be looking over the doctor's work and watching over you ! Prayers, hugs and blessings!!

She looks as my first cat Isabella. lovely kitty hope she will do good after the operation. I've seen dog's and cats with one leg and they went oke and happy. Good luck

Update sept 24 :

Minouche will be amputed tomorrow in the morning....


I know it's the better thing for her but I'm soooooooooo sad :o(

Update sept 25 :

My little Minouche is to the vet since this morning 9 am. He had to make the amputation this afternoon ... but I have to wait until 6 pm before calling him... I do not know if she comes home tonight or tomorrow... The wait is long........

Well, I called the vet (with my heart beating at 2000 pulses / minute): he just finished the surgery, she is still sleeping ... Following tomorrow morning ...

Update sept 26 :

A lot of question yesterday evening : she will wake up alone, in an unknown place, having pain ...

A lot of nightmares this night : she tried to scrape her ear with a small piece of leg ...

I look at the clock and I wait to be 9 am to phone the vet.... :(

Elle est trop mimi, tu as raison car elle sera là pour les ronrons et les carresses, moi je m'ennnuie de la mienne qui est partie d'un AVC à 22 ans, je me dis que nous avons 22 ans de bonheur, je t'en souhaite autant de tout coeur.
Bizzz et carresses à minouche.

Hi Sissi
She is beautiful. She looks like my Tabby Jazzy.She will be yp and running around in no time
Hugs
Peggy

I just re-call the vet : I have to wait until 6pm to get Minouche because he must make another big operation.... It's sooooooooooo long....

I imagine my poor Minouche like that

My heart and prayers go out to you and Minouche; I am so sorry for the waiting but feel that she will recover well and be free of pain after she heals. Give her scratches behind her ears, from me.
Hugs and love,
Jacqueline

I am so sorry to hear about your sweet kitty. It breaks my heart when animals are in pain. But I know that your love and attention will help her recover quickly, and once she is in your arms again she will be happy. Sending you both a huge hug.

SO SORRY ABOUT YOUR KITTIE..SHE LOOKS JUST LIKE LENOX...SHE IS VERY CUTE....LUCY

how does it go with Minouche? hope she is recovering. Big hugs for the both of you !

My brother's dog was hit by a car, and lost her leg. She has gone on to be a very active creature, has given birth several times to litters of healthy puppies and is as wild and crazy as any other dog. She doesn't even seem to notice that her leg is missing.
I hope that your kitty is doing well!!!

UPDATE here :)

She's well, just look
