He's growing so fast! I noticed this morning that he's got a few little teeth budding. So pretty soon he'll be chomping on me.


But he's doing great. His leg is completely healed now, and the fur is growing back. He walks around, and is trying to run but he falls over a lot.
He'll get the whole balance thing soon enough.

He looks at me now when I talk to him. Gorgeous eyes.

Anyway, onto the pics everyone wants to see.






Loves having his belly rubbed. You can see his leg pretty good n this shot too.



And his leg, all better!



Enjoy!

It is! He just finished eating. ThoughI wiped around his mouth, I guess there was still some.
He's pretty messy.

Sorry! I should have linked to an older thread or explained his story.


Yeah, I've never seen it happen before.. but I saw an episode of a show called Zoo Diaries where the tiger had 3 cubs, and accidentally chewed the leg off of one of the cubs when she was chewing the umbilical cord off.
So that's what I figured happened, and the vet agreed with me. But he didn't say if it happened often or not. I should ask him next time we go up.

Cuteness overload! There should have been a warning!!!!! I am not familiar with his background, what happened to his leg? It sounds like you rescued a beautiful little one and are caring for him till he finds a new home........ Bless you for loving him who obviously is grateful for it!

He had been found by some highschool stupids by the schools dumpster. We think him momma accidentally bit off his leg and tail when she was chewing the sac off. Then whoever owned him and his momma must have put him by the dumpster because they figured he wouldn't make it.
That was when he was about 7 days old.


His name is Nixie.. or Nix!

Now that makes sense. We actually have a cat at our shelter with a leg that looks a lot like that. She came to us with kittens of her own & it's almost like she's just missing the foot. She is fine, she doesn't like to jump but otherwise she is a very happy girl!

Your baby is TOOOOOOOOO CUTE!!!!!!!!
