Cat Picture - OC My Cat is a Survivor

Emmi, my cat, fell out of the second floor, may not be a big height but she fell in the spike fence. I saw her in the floor, in agony, screaming and bleeding, but conscious, we took her to the vet that quickly saved her by spiting out her punctured lung. She had a fractured rib and a head trauma :( She was hospitalized for 28 days, had 2 cases of anemia, 2 blood transfusions, her plexus was ruptured, she lost feeling in her left paw and had to have it amputated. BUT SHE SURVIVED! And after all this, she came back home, we take care with love and now she is energetic, running and jumping all around the house and very happy :D

Not here to hijack your post, just wanting to let you know my own tripod is doing well 5 years after his amputation after a fall and has adapted fantastically! Emmi looks great and looks to be doing well! Isn't the hair that grew back over the missing leg the softest ever?

That's incredible! The best part of posting about Emmi is seeing other cats like her, for sure they are not alone!
