Seriously smol kitten born with legs facing backwards makes meowraculous progress thanks to quick intervention from his hooman, vet says there's hope: 'He'll be just fine'

One of the silliest questions people ask is, "If you could live in any time period, which one would it be?" Our answer is always the same - this one. We have the most advanced medicine in history, and if it weren't for all of these meowdern medical practices, the kitten in our story below might never have survived.

The smol baby boy was born with its legs facing backwards, like, completely backwards. But, thanks to the quick intervention of his hooman and a very delicate purrfessional, the kitty cutie now has splints bigger than its body and is already making progress towards recovery. The kitten is too small for an X-ray to really see if the legs are correcting, but the vet said that his legs were responding well, so it's a good sign.

Think about living in the 1920s; this kitten never would have had any chance of survival. Because of the advances in science, we are able to save previously lost cases. Basically, don't take anything we have now for granted. Be it medicine or the health of your cats, life is purrfectly good if you choose to look at it with a glass half full.
