My precious Satin, a.k.a. "Tuna," who has passed to the Rainbow Bridge was a polydactyl. But what made her most precious, was that she was also a tripod. She had been a "factory" cat, hanging around as a homeless girl, before I adopted her. The workers there were, for the most part, kind to her and would feed her. At one time she developed a bladder infection and naturally was having "accidents." This infuriated one of the worker's so much, that he kicked her and she flew across the room, into the workings of one of the machines. She lost her right hind leg. Despite such cruelty, she never lost her HUGE capacity to forgive and love. We use to joke that God, knowing she would lose her leg, gave her 7 toes per foot. A total of 21! One more than the ususal 20! The loss of her leg never held her back. She was one special girl.
