Presenting my tripod kitty Greebo already home and purring. Dont know how you people with actual human children do it. This was fuckin scary man.
Show your puppers, kitties and assorted floofs and animal friends a lil but more love tonight friends, I know I will be.
Obligatory edit: Hi guys! Sorry for late edit, posted and then went to sleep, thanks so much for your well wishes, Greebo is doing excellently. For those who want to know what happened, im not entirely sure myself, got home after work Monday night and he wasnt there to greet me as the usual so I knew something was up. Found him outside curled up making pain mewls with a clump of fur missing and his leg hanging off him. Rushed to the vet and they told us he jad a shatterred femur. He was able to get in to see the surgeon tuesday and all went as well as it could have. We wont be taking any holidays to the behamas anytime soon, but my furbaby is going to be fine. He freaking me out with how mobile he is!

So how did Greebo lose a leg?
majinbuxl
I have a 1.5 year old daughter. Its tough all the damn time but you get used to it. Cats don't really even compare.

Don't assume purring means he's happy. Sometimes cats purr when in great pain as a coping mechanism.
TobiOfTheAkatsuki
The specific frequency of purring promotes healing as well. Cat here is trying to speed up the healing process.
WyrdJamie
I missing body part makes him more like Greebo even if it's not an eye.
Zahnradfee
But he would have to swap @OP for a middle aged witch with a ton of grandchildren.
theyallcallmefeebz
If he is anything like his namesake, this will only make him stronger and more intimidating to lesser animals (pronounced "everyone").
Halzoun
What happened!? Please tell us!
dadanedude
Cats purr to comfort themselves. He's probably still uncomfortable AF.
Helsbels
And to keep people around them. Purring means please stay with me.
onepinksheep
That's just like my cat Coco Bun. She was attacked by a dog late Nov last year & had to get a leg amputated.
onepinksheep
That photo was late Dec (sorry for potato). She's actually adapted quite well to being 3-legged & can still run (and jump) like she used to.
ImHereToExplainTheJoke
@OP what happened to the poor boy?
erischilde
What a sweet little survivor. He deserves so many scritches.

Tis but a flesh wound!

Cats can also pur out of stress, make sure they stay comfortable OP!

op i'm gonna need more updates!!
MyCatEatsMyCakes
Because its not OP's cat probably and they don't have a viable story for this?
ExtremelyDecent
You can see it as a smaller cat months ago in OPs history
schneir52000
I learned from "Game of Thrones" that you meant "fewer", not "less".
marks0727
I learned that from @sarah

Not a single Terry Pratchett comment. This has to be rectified.

My cat is called Greebo after Terry’s Greebo :)

Here Here. I like when Greebo becomes human!
Norrah
Agreed, that is some solid social commentary/writing right there.
HsuDoNihm
Damn... I've read some, but I don't recall anything fitting for this. Must be a book or 10 that I've missed.
chromed
I mean... The cat's named after nanny ogg's cat.
HsuDoNihm
Ah. I think the only witchy book I read was half-witchy at most and that was "Sourcery".
chromed
Ahh yeah the least witchy really. I do recommend the later witch books. Lords and Ladies and Carpe Jugulem are my personal favorites.

How did I miss that?
RavenBlue
Us people with "actual human children" don't usually have their appendages removed.
theonlyBLACKWIDOW
Way to just ask the universe for such a thing dumbass!! May your “real children” never suffer such a fate even thou parents are clueless
ariafiresong
I mean in cases of horrific accidents, it could happen. Which...I'm guessing might be the case here.
RavenBlue
I'm sure it was an accident that lead to this situation. But without the story how can we know?

What happened?
WVGleeman
Rabbit trap most likely. I have 2 tripods because some asshole in my neighborhood set out traps. Can't prove it and authorities can't help.

He ate a leg due to hard times.

He tripped on that long ass 1970s shag carpet.

That carpet looks more matted than a stray dog

There was catastrophe
Ijustwantquiet
Got into a battle with an errant nobleman over rights of passage over a bridge.
bushidopirate
I’m assuming it was hit by a car? I’ve met a handful of three-legged pets and that was the cause of all the amputations I’ve seen.
FiftyShadesOfCauliflower
It can be as simple as a sprained ankle joint. Some cats never recover from that and are in permanent pain until the leg is amputated.
onepinksheep
I have a three-legged cat, and she lost her leg due to a feral dog attack. Could be anything, really.
Tyrrlin
A friend of mine had a three legged cat who lost her leg in an illegal leg trap left in the woods.

Nasty cheese grating accident.

Whatever you do, DO NOT google "mandolin slicer injury."

I've seen worse. Nearly did worse to my own finger with a knife once... Was impatient opening the packaging for my kitties new collar.

Srsly, cats have 9 lives supposedly; you'd think a living cat that "died" would be an obvious joke. Oh well.

It was probably hit by a car. Fractured the leg somehow and either needed $$$ surgery or couldn’t be fixed.
FloridaMansSideKick
Who? Someone who isn't privy to the context.
FloridaMansSideKick
Actually, it seems it is OP's cat after all. I don't understand why they haven't responded to a single question on this thread.
domestomp
repost or he is spending time with tripod kitty and not giving fuck to internet

Maybe they've been busy and don't spend all day on imgur? Or they do and don't get push notifications
