Here's an update and another call for help - Little Mama seems to have started to experience "phantom pains" in the missing limb.  Everything was going along so well until last night when she had a major freak-out which seemed to come out of nowhere.  I wasn't sure if she was having a seizure...

Thanks for your post. The reason I know she is feral is because she was born under my house. Her mother ( also feral) would come to eat the food I put out but the two kittens (thankfully only two) would run like crazy back under the house when they would see me. I remember thinking what a...
