Hello,
I'm new to the forum.. But I am really hoping for some help. I hope this is the right place, if not I'm very sorry.
My cat Sicily who is approx. 2 years old gave birth early this morning to two beautiful kittens. We had every intention to get her spayed but she slipped out the door when our neighbor came in while we were on vacation and we were not made aware of this until about a week ago when we started wondering why she had gotten rounder.. Anyway.. Onto my question..
One of the kittens - the tabby - his front legs bend inward, almost like if a person bent their arms in, it would look just like that, like he has elbows. He also has 4 toes on each of his front feet instead of 5. His back legs/feet are perfect. He gets around wonderful as far as I can tell and is nursing great. He has a strong grip on his momma! He is a bit smaller than his sister (Calico) but that's all I can really see a difference in..
The vet said that he would look at him Monday as it did not seem like an emergency but a defect. We are already falling in love with this guy and he's not even a day old yet!
My question is, has anyone ever seen this before? Will he figure out how to live like this? Suggestions? Help? I want to cry for him, but he seems to be doing so wonderfully.
Thanks!
