BLACK CHERRY WHISNIAK

I drove to Richmond to meet the people who had rescued this sweet little girl . She was born with deformed hind legs and is semi-continent.  Despite this she is very active and climbs all over.  She has full use of her tail, and partial use of her legs.  Her legs are very weak, but she can get up on her 'knees' and jump.  She doesn't let anything slow her down.

She has partial control of bowels and bladder, she doesn't get much warning so will go racing for the nearest litterbox or pee pad, but doesn't always make it.  She does manage to hold it all night when she sleeps in my bed.  During the day she wears a little diaper made out of a puppy pad and half a maxi pad, held together with scotch tape. 

She plays with the other cat, wrestling and chasing them.  She loves to climb and will figure out elaborate routes to get where she wants to go.  She is very snuggly, loving to be in my lap while I type and snuggled under my chin when I sleep.  She will sometimes climb up and get on my pillow to try and convince me it is nap time.
