Poor cat.. I have one named "Smack" He is a russian bleu. I was in school studying to be a vet nurse and he was in a clinic I did my internship in. I found out he was a hit and run brought in by one of the other nurses who also happened to be my instructor, Steve. Steve was to keep him, but his dog would not allow it so I got him. after having him for a year he got out of the house once and got hit by a car again and it shattered his hind right leg. Good thing I was emplyoed at a wonderful animal hospital in Tucson, AZ. called Grant RD veterinary Hospital. I had a 1200.00 surgery preformed for nothing so the doc could get orthopedic surgery practice. most vets would have amputated, it was so bad. She did a wonderful job on him, restored full mobility to his leg. He now sits in the yard and watches the cars instead of chasing them though....LOL
