I love this cat! He's my dad's cat, he's deaf as a post and about as dumb (seriously, I love cats, I think they're wonderfully smart creatures, but this one has some screws loose). He decided a while back that it was a good idea to sneak outside and sleep under the car. My dad ran him over. Squished his back end. He broke a lot of bones, but damaged NOTHING else internally. Vet couldn't fix him with surgery, so they let him heal like that, he'll probably develop arthritis later on, but otherwise he's fine. He holds one leg up, and looks a little squished, but he runs like a squirrel, he's QUICK! He's absolutely obsessed with chasing shadows. I swear he can see shadows when he's dead asleep (Okay, maybe not
)

Dawn, he's beautiful!!!! Poor fella - sounds like he's had a bit of a bad time there


And he's all the more cute for being a little disadvantaged . . . and 'screwy'.

Awwwww he is beautiful!
He looks like my deaf kitty Kahu. Kahu is a little screwy as well - right now he is running around like a headless chicken!
