Pythagoras is a gorgeous 3-legged cat who thinks he is the happiest kitty in the world. He is happy for the second chance he got and a wonderful place to call home.
A photo of him after he was rescued and brought to the shelter shows that Pythagoras was once a 4-legged kitty, but with a broken leg. The decision to remove the bad leg was tough but ultimately saved his life. Pythagoras was upbeat all the way through his journey to his forever home.
Three months after the surgery, he was adopted by a loving family. Even though he is missing a leg, he doesn’t think he is any different, nor does he have any trouble getting around the house. “He couldn’t sneak up on a blind wingless bird, but he is nearly as fast as the other 4 leggers in the house. I don’t let him outside for his own safety, though,” said Pythagoras’ human dad via reddit.
No matter how different these kitties may seem, in their eyes, they are perfect and happy.

I always cry when I read stories like this one, but they’re happy years. I am so filled with joy that there are so many amazing, kind, compassionate and loving people in this world who will take in cats and dogs who are ‘special’ in one way or another, and give them love, affection, a loving home, a safe home forever, regardless of their special needs. what an absolutely beautiful boy Pythagorus is!
Growing up I had a 3 legged cat named Peg. She and I were inseparable, and she was the most patient of cats (we have pictures of me asleep lying ON her).
My mom happened to work at the vet clinic she was brought to, and took her home after the decision was made to amputate her leg (someone had shot her). She was with me and my family for 17+ years.
A very brave cat
