She slipped and fell two stories, and shattered her front shoulder on landing. After much examination, they decided it would be best to amputate the leg, as the break9s) were too far up. So she is now a little tri-pawed kitty, and her humans are very sad and worried about her, and keeping her would covered (she's peeled off the onesie they had her in), while she heals.
So sorry to hear that, Karen! That's quite a fall. Poor Tika, poor parents!!! But Tika should do fine. 3 legged kitties and doggies do so amazingly well despite the loss of a limb, much better than we humans fare. My Tigg'r lost his leg after being shot by a neighbor. First day home, despite strict orders to keep him confined, he jumped straight up from the floor to the top of the dining room table the minute we unzipped his carrier, never missing a beat!

Hoping for a swift and complete recovery for dear Tika!
