5. Even if the kitten loses her back legs she might not need a wheelchair.

This cat rescue in Ohio has two cats with no back legs - one, orange, named Coralie, lost her legs on account of severe frostbite; and the other, dark gray, named Magic, was born with back legs that were badly deformed. Both of them scoot around very quickly on their front legs. They can't jump but otherwise they are pretty mobile. If you watch the video they will turn up before long. Coralie is usually in one of the little huts.
