Kitty's abnormal legs don't hold him back
SALT LAKE CITY – As any cat owner knows all too well, felines can be energetic and crazy. This cat, named Mouse, is no different. Even with his abnormally short front legs.
Mouse, along with his mom and siblings, were brought to the Best Friends Kitten Nursery in Salt Lake City as strays. Staff soon realized that Mouse was not only a little wild, he had a congenital deformity: His front legs were not developing normally. So, Mouse was placed into foster care.
Mouse was healthy, strong and at ease around others, so he was put up for adoption. Lana and Curtis Crichton quickly fell in love with him and took Mouse home with them, where Mouse got a new life and a new name: Smalls.
