Yes, indeed, X is a tough letter. There are quite a few X words but most are of the scientific variety. We pulled out the
dictionary to try to come up with something creative. About all we found was xerox, Xanax and x-ray that we could use. Even though x-ray isn’t very creative, at least I do have a story to go with it. You may have already heard the story, but you probably haven’t seen the pictures.
I was only a few weeks old when I was rescued from a shelter, and certain euthanasia, with a broken leg and tail. I was taken to a veterinary hospital where they took x-rays to see exactly what the damage was. In the x-rays, you can clearly see my broken leg and tail.
My tail was amputated at the break and is now a cute little half-tail. My leg was set and put in a cast. After a few days at the hospital, I went home with my foster mom. As you probably know by now, she was a pushover and adopted me after a pretty short time with her.
My leg was in a cast for several weeks but I didn’t let that big old thing keep from doing anything. It was clunky and quite a nuisance but I was a youngster and didn’t know any better. The vet said the cast would protect my leg and I didn’t need any special care because of it so, after my initial incarceration in the kitten room, I ran and jumped and dragged that thing around everywhere.
Here I am on my first day in my foster home, incarcerated in the kitten room, which was the bathroom at that time.
It was big and clunky. I had to keep my hip bent all the time except when I was laying down.
I jumped and climbed all over the place. I didn’t let it stop me from doing anything!
Admittedly, though, it was quite a relief to get that cast off. My leg was pretty stiff for a while but after a few weeks of exercising it, I barely limped. Today, there is no sign that I was ever injured — except for my little tail.
Wishing you a safe and healthy day!

You are a survivor, Christy!! And you are a joy! 🙂
What a precious little baby you were (and still are!!!) I’m so, so happy you got the help you needed and a purr-fect forever home!
Wow, Christy. We didn’t know this about you. Thank cod you got the medical help you needed…and found a pawsome home.
That’s a lot of breaks. It’s wonderful that you had such dedicated rescuers…. and a foster mom who was such a pushover.
You were such a cutie pie Christie…believe me, I don’t say that very often. You overcame a lot at a very young age. Probably why you are so cool and wise now.
