A five-legged cat is to undergo surgery to remove a superfluous paw growing from the left side of her body.
The stray was found by a US family in Cannonsburg, Pennsylvania, and taken to a local animal shelter, where she was named Baby Girl.

The operation will not make her a four-footed feline, as vets also plan to amputate a deformed left hind leg.

But staff at the shelter say Baby Girl is already adept at getting around using only 60% of current paw power.

I want a kitty!

Apparently the extra leg and/or inhibited mobility didn’t stop it from making it’s own way in the world until it got caught. 

You can have one of my brothers kitties.  In the past week they have managed to break 2 cups, a beer stein, a model helicopter, have uprooted 2 plants, scattered kitty litter all over the floor, shredded a roll of paper towel, trapped one of them in the washing machine and tipped over an 8 ft kitty tower which almost broke an arm on an old family heirloom chair when it fell.  I’ll be glad when he gets back from his trip.

You only need two tools in life - WD-40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn’t move and should, use the WD-40. If it shouldn’t move and does, use the duct tape.
If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons?
