  • This has to be one of the most unique paws that we have seen on a kitten, ever. And we have seen a whole lot of unique kittens in our time. It's like the baby is waving hello all the time. Or maybe it's like she has a little pep in her step everywhere that she goes. Either way, if we saw this walking around our house every single day, we would forever be walking around with a smile. And that is worth every single second of taking care of this little guy and helping him adjust to his new household.

    CookiesAndFrost Sooooo cute! What's your guess on what's going on with the cute paw?

    YeliahSenyab OP Hiii the vet said the foot is perfectly healthy Just a birth defect. He told me with strays it can be a number of things. Possibly a product of mom getting a lack of nutrients during her pregnancy, resulting in a birth defect or it could be a product of being inbred. Sooo not mentioned in post but I have flips mom as well. She is also getting healthy and staying warm!! I've been watching them for a few months and knew I'd save them when it got cold.

    Memetan 24 I had a tuxedo cat with one of his hind legs off to the side according to the vet it was caused by a break and it healing wrong

    YeliahSenyab OP I thought that might be her situation! but she actually has toe beans scattered all over the paw so it's definitely just a birth defect

    "The magical story of Pepper and Flip"

    Recently Flip got super popular on a different Reddit post so someone recommended I tell her story here!

  • 17

    Flips story starts with her mom, Pepper. I Met Pepper around 8 months ago. Although a stray, she grew to trust me and came everyday for food. Around October, Pepper came for dinner with a lil baby trailing behind.

    Over the months, I started seeing the baby (now Flip) more but she never let me get close. Fast forward to early December, I look out my window and see them both sitting on my porch. I open my front door and they walked right in- and then never left.

    I never noticed until they came in, but Flip has a front paw deformity that does not stop her from being a rambunctious kitten. The vet says she was born with it, and that it's of no concern.

    Both kitties are now my vetted house cats, which puts me and 4 cats received from the cat distribution system.

  • This really is how it happens, folks. You show kindness to a cat once, and you have won them over. Of course, the kitty had to be a little extra cautios before bringing her baby, but she knew… she knew that in this place, she will find kindness. She knew that in this place, she will have food and warmth and love. All it took is making a decision, and once the momma did that, the two of them felt completely comfortable walking into your home and making themselves at home. It really is that simple.
