Main Coon kitten
That's my Skip when we first got him. Just a little fluff ball, cripple front leg that he never seemed to notice. Our vet called to ask if we'd take him and when we got there, his cage was empty and no one knew where he was. The kids of the vets and staff work there, caring for the animals and cleaning cages. One of them was carrying him around in his pocket and had named him Skip for his crippled leg.
He was the same age as our other rescue - Brodie who was thrown out of a car but instead of landing in the water, hit the bridge where we found her huddled.
Wasn't long though before he passed her by. He was enormous but she was still the boss. The were raised together and were inseparable.
We saw he was skip on election eve and put him down less than a week later. A year later, we adopted another Maine coon rescued from a kitten mill. He's a year old now, trouble in a fur coat. Brodie has never accepted him but, every day, he becomes a nicer person to be around.
That kitten really really does look like Skip did.
Well, Skip must have been really, really cute, because that kitty is really cute.
