Good for you for noticing Kurby's injury. I'm sure its hard with all those park kitties.

Give him love for me...or, at least tell him I'm thinking of him.

Moosmom...I know EXACTLY who that little kitten is that you posted a picture of! That's Bendy who was born like that (not bred) and his caretaker, a wonderful person put soft braces on his front legs to help straighten them out. It worked wonders and Bendy is a strapping large handsome boy. For those who haven't a clue what Leslie is talking about, twisty cats (I detest the term) are a genetic fluke between two cats that carry the polydactyl gene. The more pronounced form is called radial agenesis, I call it R/A, and the lesser form which Bendy has is radial hypoplasia (or R/H). Sorry but I refuse to use the term made up by that Texas Crackpot Vicki Speirs. I'm sure if you type her name into any search engine there's plenty to read. Luckily my sweet Kirby hasn't had his hip dislocate recently.

Is he a stray? I really hope you find him. Poor baby. He's really pretty, too.
