Amazing animals and inspirational stories about them....(3 stories/articles for today)


1. The cat and the mouse.

What do you think of when you link a cat and a mouse together. Deadpan. Prey and predator, for sure. But this amazing picture shows us that animals also have very perplexed emotions or feelings inside them which humans have not uncovered or understood....

A pet cat in China has adopted a rat which she is nursing alongside her four kittens.

"The rat not only drinks cat's milk, but also plays with its kitten 'brothers and sisters', according to the Qilu Evening Post.

The cat reportedly treats the rat exactly the same as her natural kittens and it has become part of her family."

Wow, that's motherly love, not only for one's own kind. :)

2. Chase, the cat without a face.

Literally. When locals here think of 'no face' we think, being ashamed or things under that line...but this is the first time i've really seen a cat with no face. Literally. And she has lived to be an inspiration to help people come to terms with their own disabilities.

This is Chase.
Who was in an accident when she was 4 weeks old...and became disfigured.
But with the will to live ( and maybe it is true that cats have 9 lifes?) she has fully recovered and is 3 yrs old now. :)
yayness.

She might look ugly to some of you, but that is just superficially, she is really an inspiration and its a good thing what the owner did to actually use the same incident to help other people come to terms with their disabilities.

3. Hope. the puppy born without front legs.
This is (was) Hope as he was born without her front legs, instead with small wriggling nubs where her front legs were intended to be.

At first Hope moved around by hopping but experts said her her natural mode of moving eventually would damage her bones and spine.

Thus some guy ( orthotist David Turnbill) out of his own good will made hope this: :)

makeshift shoulder joints connected to model airplane wheels.
And he he did it free of charge, what a nice man. :)
The spring-loaded prosthetic arms hook to a custom-fitted chest plate to allow Hope to lay down or sit up without removing the prosthetic.

Thus Hope + the new airplane wheels...how did she cope?

It took her a little while, but with practise she coped just fine...what a darling Maltese princess she is. :)
