Here are Tibby and Fibby, the two kittens with deformed back legs who first came to us back in August — and as you can see, they have been growing a lot! Tibby, the little girl on the left, is still by far the smallest of the pair, but proportionately she is keeping up with her brother as they grow. We still have them in our isolation cottage, which is now turned into a nursery of sorts for these two. We haven’t moved them to our cat house yet for two reasons. One, we want them to be bigger before they meet the rest of the feline gang; we’re a bit concerned that blind Bobby might pick on them when they’re this small. (Hey, just because you’re blind doesn’t mean you can’t be a brat.) Two, the cat house floor is linoleum, and we don’t know how they’ll do because of their legs. So we’re going to ease them into it.
For now, they are very happy where they are, and they get all sorts of interesting company coming through. For instance, the wobbly brothers, Smokey and Charlie, are the newest overnight guests in the cottage, dancing around in their crates. Tibby and Fibby look at those crates rocking back and forth in wide-eyed amazement. During the day, Tibby and Fibby sit just inside the open door — the door sill is about 8 inches above the cottage floor, and about a foot higher than the ground outside, keeping the kittens in and the puppies out — and watch with similar amazement as Smokey and Charlie do the cha-cha-cha across the isolation yard. "Wow, those guys can really rock!," they seem to be saying to each other.
