His legs are only bowed out in the front at the elbow joint. In back they don't do that. It also doesn't seem to happen with both legs at once, just on whatever direction he's leaning, that's the leg that does it. It gives him character. 
Also, when we got home, Kim found his limited info on the Oakland County Animal Control page.....

Not a great pic of him, but at least we have an internet record. His admission date on our paper record was 9/23/06. We have no clue if he was a street stray or a surrendered pet. Kim may email them to find out.
A couple more pics!!!

....and his current state....
