3-legged cat

Here's a couple of photos of our 3-legged cat, taken today:



Yup, that's Maggie.  (With Kitty in the background.)

Back in April, she was run over in our shared driveway by the neighbour.  It seems that she was sitting in the middle of the driveway, and he backed out too fast, not looking where he was going, and drove right over her.

Her leg was badly damaged, and had to be amputated.  Her hip was also broken.  But after several weeks of rest and recovery, she is now hopping around the home, mostly feeling okay about things.  The main thing she seems to feel frustrated about is not being able to scratch that side of her body; she sits in the scratching position, with her stump wobbling, until we come to give her a scratch.
