Guestbook Jump to the pictures of Timothy Timothy's StoryTimothy was also tiny and undernourished, but had only slight curvature of his legs. His hind feet are enormous like snowshoes. He was examined by the vet, and declared healthy, to my surprise! When he was old enough he was nuetered. He doesn't seem to have much difficulty doing anything, and so far at ten months though a bit small for his age, is developing fine. Having two with severe problems, I cannot possiblt understand how any one would want to perpetuate this birth defect! Though Mother Nature was in control in these three cases, watching Willy try to move about breaks my heart. I love and cherish my handicats, and would never purposely inflict this life on any animal. And I shudder to think of how many are possibly on the streets now, unable to find food. Unable to safely cross streets, unable to defend themselves against preditors, and living with more fear than a cat should. I strongly urge the purposeful breeding of these cats to end! I cannot see anything cute or amusing about Willy having to lie on his back , or sit on his haunches to relieve the pressure on his front legs. It breaks my heart. And sincerely hope that it is left in natures hands, not breeders! For more information on Radial Hypoplasia visit http://thorin.adnc.com/~richlin
