When the boys were in Blanding for the week before school started, they rescued a kitten from under Grandma and Grandpa's porch. After getting her inside, they found that she couldn't use one of her legs. Of course, they had to keep her. They named her Streak, because she streaks around even with a bum leg, and because she has a streak down the middle of her face.
The vet tells us that the problem is with her radial nerve, and that it can't be fixed. So, as soon as she's old enough we will have it amputated. It gets in her way, and it rubs on the floor when she walks, which is starting to make a sore spot, so we think it's best for her to take it off.
The boys love her, and so do the dogs (a little more than she'd like). Lauren and Sam (the OTHER cat) are not thrilled but are both keeping a stiff upper lip!
