Our ability to adapt is truly incredible. When you’re unlike the majority of the population in any way, you’re bound to face adversity in one way or another, and the grace with which you deal with those hurdles says a lot about your character.
This one special kitty was born with two little nubs for her front legs, and after being surrendered when she was just a baby, she’s grown into a teen as rowdy as any other!
This is Roux, aka Lil’ Bunny Sue Roux.
She’s just like any other kitty, except she gets around using only her two back feet.
Roux is just as curious as any four-legged cat, as demonstrated by these dresser-drawer sits.
I’m sure her mother, Jackie Deak Akey, really wanted all of her shirts to get furry.
You might be wondering how this cute, fuzzy, little t-rex gets around…
She’s figured out how to sit back on her hind legs — like a kangaroo — for better balance. When she wants to go super fast, she hops around like a bunny.
These creative ways of getting around make it super easy for her to play with her two older sisters. She even tosses her favorite toys around with her mouth.
But now that you know all about her current life, you’re probably curious how she came to be this way…
It’s most likely caused by transverse terminal hemimelia. Her bones in her front legs stopped growing after the femur.
It also caused her to have a cute little bobtail!
The only reason she was surrendered was because she didn’t bury her business in the litter box…
But not for lack of trying! Those little nubs just can’t reach. Other than that one tiny setback…
Her doctors say that she’s not in any pain…
But since she doesn’t move around like other cats, she may run into some joint problems as she gets older. Fear not, though, because Akey works at a vet clinic and will take her into specialists if she senses little Roux needs to be fitted for prosthetics down the road.
If you can honestly tell me that this isn’t the cutest snuggle bunny/kangaroo/t-rex/kitty cat you’ve ever seen…
You may kindly leave!
