    CookiesAndFrost Sooooo cute! What's your guess on what's going on with the cute paw?

    YeliahSenyab OP Hiii the vet said the foot is perfectly healthy Just a birth defect. He told me with strays it can be a number of things. Possibly a product of mom getting a lack of nutrients during her pregnancy, resulting in a birth defect or it could be a product of being inbred. Sooo not mentioned in post but I have flips mom as well. She is also getting healthy and staying warm!! I've been watching them for a few months and knew I'd save them when it got cold.

    Memetan 24 I had a tuxedo cat with one of his hind legs off to the side according to the vet it was caused by a break and it healing wrong

    YeliahSenyab OP I thought that might be her situation! but she actually has toe beans scattered all over the paw so it's definitely just a birth defect

    Recently Flip got super popular on a different Reddit post so someone recommended I tell her story here!

    Flips story starts with her mom, Pepper. I Met Pepper around 8 months ago. Although a stray, she grew to trust me and came everyday for food. Around October, Pepper came for dinner with a lil baby trailing behind.

    Over the months, I started seeing the baby (now Flip) more but she never let me get close. Fast forward to early December, I look out my window and see them both sitting on my porch. I open my front door and they walked right in- and then never left.

    I never noticed until they came in, but Flip has a front paw deformity that does not stop her from being a rambunctious kitten. The vet says she was born with it, and that it's of no concern.

    Both kitties are now my vetted house cats, which puts me and 4 cats received from the cat distribution system.
