Kitten that was rescued from a storm drain with a broken leg has to have its paw put in a cast, hilariously uses the cast as a launcher to run faster: 'This little guy moves fast!'

    Skeletal Mew OMG his tiny bones!! Where is the fracture exactly? I can't tell!

    atxceo OP They said it was very hard to see. Top paw, what would be considered the pinky. The vet said they even had a difficult time locating it but they believe it's there.

    Ad_Bogdan27 WHAT HAPPENED TO HIS ARM???

  • 10

    atxceo OP He's a rescue kitty we pulled from a storm drain. X-rays showed he has a small fracture on his paw. The vet splinted him and he's about two more weeks to go before it can be removed.

    We're slightly concerned there may be radial nerve damage but we won't know until it's off and he has a chance to put weight on it completely. He uses it as a launcher when he's running and this little guy moves fast! He's already escaped the room we have him in several times as soon as we open the door. He reaches the other end of the adjoining room before we have a chance to catch him! He's ready for it to be off.

  • Oh yeah, this little one is beyond ready to take that cast off. He's exploding with energy, ready to take over the world. Or maybe not. Maybe he likes the cast. Maybe he likes having a launch pad for his shenanigans. You never know what it is that is going on though their itty bitty brains. All that matters right now, though, is that he's still enjoying his life even when he's restricted like this.

    TeaNo6652 His little bonker reminds me of Tater Tot

  • Ever since Tater Tot, every single kitty in a cast that we see absolutely makes our hearts clench. Sigh, we miss Tater Tot a lot. He was so small, but he made such a big impact. We legitimately cannot look at a single picture of a kitten in a cast without thinking about him. We hope he's catching lots of sunrays and happily chasing butterflies across the rainbow bridge.
