We had a barn cat that we adopted along with several others. He had one backwards back leg and the other just plain stopped at the ankle. Birth defects like Miette. He was nearly an adult when he moved in our barn and had a long, happy life running on two front legs and using the leg that stopped for stabilization in the back. He held the backwards leg up and out of the way. He was also deaf and one of the other cats would go find him when it heard us with the food. Cats are truly amazing creatures
That last detail about the other cats getting him to come down for food is so precious! Shows that cats are very capable of having real relationships and actually caring!
@@astralb.2647 Reminds me of two cats I met at an outdoor restaurant as a child. I found their hideout and snuck them two pieces of fish. The cat that saw me do it ate one piece immediately, but left the other. I think it was saving that piece for the other cat.
Miette has no idea anything's wrong with her, and she is SO loved! Miette is a fighter and Hannah is the most resourceful, dedicated foster Mum. I'm sure this story will end well, whatever the outcome. 💖
This little angel has won the life lottery for disabled kittens. She could not have gotten into a bettet foster home. And she is too cute for words, she will grow into a beautiful cat....!🐾💖
And as a disabled person, please do not be scared of Miette's journey. things will work out in the way they were destined to and she may not qualify for the surgery or have some other complications, but i can tell right now that she is OBSESSED with you and wakes up every day to learn and grow stronger with you. She may or may not ever walk like a 'normal' cat but you can tell that she is having the time of her life. She was born this way and has no idea that life could be 'better' since she is already having the best one!! The goal is not to get her to walk like a 'normal' cat since her malformations are congenital, but i know that you and her health team will help her life be just as lovely and special as she is.
She looks like a seal point ragdoll kitten. I have a cat that started out with her coloring and she is absolutely gorgeous! They are so loving and people kitties! Praying for her❤
I thought of that , her being rejected by a breeder for the defect. she looks like a deluxe kitty, not just a stray. It puts my stomach in a knot to think of it.
Aww!!!! She is absolutely The CUTEST Li'l Nugget! I pray that she will be able to get the surgery & have better mobility. For now though, she doesn't even know she's for anything "disabled" about her! She's a CAN-DO kinda girl! Just PRECIOUS!!!
I wanted to say Thank You! I watched one of your videos last Spring about fostering kittens. I had been putting it off as I had a senior cat that I didn’t want to upset. But I decided to just do it because I created a seperate kitten room so their paths did not cross. In the 6 months I’ve been fostering kitten, I’ve had 18 kittens stay with me for various lengths of time. It has been so rewarding! My 16 year cat passed away 2 months ago and I’m so thankful to have a few foster kittens to help me through it. I’m so glad I started to foster kittens and plan to continue to foster them when ever possible!
With how happy of a baby she is, you wouldn't imagine how many physical limitations she was born with. I forsee a very happy, playful kitty who has no idea that she's any different from any other four-legged furr baby. ^3^
Are you taking applications for her yet? I understand it would be awhile before she is ready, but as someone with joint problems, and knees that hyperextend back and needs to build muscle, I relate to this kitten. My condition also can’t be fixed, and just needs supportive care and time. We could build strength together!
Unfortunately unless the Orphan Kitten Club is willing to make an exception for me, I am located much further than an 8 hour drive to San Diego CA. Was going to put in an application, as I am confident I could give her a safe and loving home, but I’m sure this baby will find the perfect home regardless!
I have EDS too! Just had my first reverse shoulder replacement surgery. Looking forward to knees being replaced so walking/standing isn’t so torturous.
Aww, when I first saw Miette walking in her splints, I thought she looked like a ballerina on her points. The finger splints were an ingenious idea. You're so clever and so very kind and loving to those darling rescues. ❤
Be sure not to kick Miette, do not kick her body like the football, or else jail, jail for 1000 years! Edit: For those less atrociously online as I am, worry not for I am not actually suggesting that Madame Kitten Lady would actually kick the kitten. I am simply referencing a meme. You see there was a post on Twitter that also got very popular on Tumblr about a woman talking about her very dramatic cat and her theatrical inner monologue. "Me, lightly touching miette with the side of my foot: miette move out of the way please so I don't trip on you Miette, her eyes enormous: you KICK miette? you kick her body like the football? Oh! Oh! Jail for mother! Jail for mother for One Thousand Years!!!!"
@@debralstrong3714 its a reference to a tweet where someone was narrating the thoughts of their very dramatic cat also named miette, no miettes were actually kicked :3
A beautiful bundle of fluf and mischief . Miette is adorable beyond words. ❤She does not let her disability stop her from enjoying her little life. ❤❤❤
One of the most interesting things to me about disabled animals like Miette is the fact that they just don't care. They figure out their own way to live and have fun and enjoy themselves. It's just their lives and most animals at least in the case of domestics don't really care because they they're functioning even if they're a bit odd about it.
Well isn’t she just the most precious baby girl! All I could think of was a a ballerina on her tip toes when she walks right! Y'all are the best!💜💜💜🙏🙏🙏🥰🥰🥰
Miette is pretty darn cute. Glad you have her in your care. At the pet supply store, I used to work at. We have a shop cat who is black named Orpheus. He was also born without his hip sockets and walks around like Miette does. He never wore splints or had surgery.
Miette? That is such a cute name for a little princess😢 And her little legs... Oh gosh, such a little fighter. Life gave her backwards knees, and she's happily being like any other kitten. I hope everything goes well and she finds a loving forever family
She is just precious! Hoping all goes well w/her surgery but regardless she has a lot of spunk & and one of the best foster moms ever who will make sure she has the best life!
Bless her cotton socks! ❤ she looks like a ballet dancer with a very fluffy tutu! She is also beautiful and is going to grow up as a gorgeous princess with an extra special story. Thank you for sharing her with us xxx
Oh my gosh, what an absolute precious little bean!! ❤❤❤❤ miete has been blessed with the absolute best foster Mama . Thank you for not giving up in her and loving her ❤❤
So important what you say about not shying away from difficulty, just because it IS that and fear can be a natural outcome. If we automatically shy away from difficulty or difference at every turn, we could miss out on making a meaningful (in any or all of the definitions/nuances of that word) difference in a life or lives of those that we care about.
Quel petit amour ! 🥰C'est incroyable l’énergie qu'elle a : ) Je me demande aussi a quel point elle est embêtée par ses jambes, si ça lui fait mal... J’espère en tout cas que l’opération va bien se passer, je croise les doigts !
Thank you for taking care of Miette and helping her muscles to strengthen, her infection to clear, her confidence to grow, and mostly for her to know love.
I love watching you help these kittens. Miette is so beautiful and I pray that her surgery will be successful. She is very lucky to have you in her life.
She’s absolutely beautiful. 😻 We have a MainCoon kitten, Benji . He was born with a flat right side femur. We had him at a few specialist and unfortunately we will have to get the leg removed now in December. However he is so active and jumping around.
Good gravy, she is too precious! Big love and hugs and thanks to you and her veterinarians for all the effort to save this little fur baby. You are all amazing.
Oh My!! Miette is such a darling!! It breaks my heart to see her in this condition and I really hope that her legs improves and she has a healthy life ahead. Please update us on her journey. Looks like I have fallen in love with this little angel 👼😻
you FOSTER miette? you foster her until she’s happy and healthy? oh! oh! gratitude for mother! gratitude for mother for One Thousand Years!
you HELP Miette?! You bind Miette's feetsies in tape?! Honor! Honor and love for a thousand years!

Jail for Mother!
Miette: kisses for mother! kisses for mother for 1000 years!!
You are a kind and just mother and I must scream...with gratitude!
You SPLINT Miette? You splint her with finger splints?? Muffins for mother's face! Muffins for one thousand years!! ❤
You pet Miette?! You hug Miette?! Love! Love for mother for a thousand years!

And people think cats aren't social. Bahh!
Not to be dramatic but I would die for Miette.
I would also die for Miette
i think we all would
I want her too 😿💋
Would Die For Miette Club Member right here!! 😍
Me too, is this how cults get started?
“Une miette” French for a single peace of crumb❤
Oh my goodness!!!❤❤❤
Thanks for the translation, that's so sweet!! 🤩
Such a sweeet crumble ❤
A crumb!
@@sasa1203 YES! Thx! I have trouble seeing the difference between “crumbles” and “crumbs”…
@@sasa1203 Ein Krümel (-chen) 😊
Her little purrs in the beginning! Miette is a fighter, she's happy to be here!
And the purrs at the end!
Obviously. And that's heartwarming ❤
despite her condition she's seems like a happy kitten, hope the surgery goes well
Good luck to Miette
You HELP Miette? You help Miette like a guardian? Oh, love for mother! Love for mother for one thousand years!
i love when the kitten get really close to the camera. i always imagine them being like "HELLO PEOPLE IN THE CAMERA!!!!"
now i get why so many call her little ballerina. she walkes like one on point shoes.
Miette has no idea anything's wrong with her, and she is SO loved! Miette is a fighter and Hannah is the most resourceful, dedicated foster Mum. I'm sure this story will end well, whatever the outcome. 💖

Yeah, she hit the foster mommy jackpot!!! Prayers for you little Miette💕🙏
No wonder you decided to work through the fear. Someone once said, "If you can't beat the fear, do it scared." Lovely kitten.
And as a disabled person, please do not be scared of Miette's journey. things will work out in the way they were destined to and she may not qualify for the surgery or have some other complications, but i can tell right now that she is OBSESSED with you and wakes up every day to learn and grow stronger with you.

They way her fur sticks out makes me think of a Webkinz plush. What an amazing little fluff ball
MIETTE? LIKE THE FOOTBALL?
jail for mother for 1000 years
No, like crumbs.
@@abbyg3404 It's a reference to a tumblr post about another cat named Miette, lol!
Oh! Oh!
She looks like a seal point ragdoll kitten. I have a cat that started out with her coloring and she is absolutely gorgeous! They are so loving and people kitties! Praying for her❤
She’s totally going to ok, the little poofie. I have a little seal point ragdoll, he’s very sweet. XX
I agree. She could very well be a ragdoll dumped by the breeder because of the issues with her legs.
I thought of that , her being rejected by a breeder for the defect. she looks like a deluxe kitty, not just a stray. It puts my stomach in a knot to think of it.
We are all pulling for Miette! Thank you, Hannah, Andrew, and everyone at OKC!
Aww!!!! She is absolutely The CUTEST Li'l Nugget! I pray that she will be able to get the surgery & have better mobility. For now though, she doesn't even know she's for anything "disabled" about her! She's a CAN-DO kinda girl! Just PRECIOUS!!!
I adore kittens with triangle tails! ❤I've always called it "carrot tail" myself. Wishing Miette all the best in her uncertain journey.
Haha, I call them "bee stingers"!
Miette is so cute!❤❤❤

OMG the way she ran to the camera purring❤️🩹
Miette is so cute and playful! My three legged calico watched the entire video. She was so focused watching her walking.
With how happy of a baby she is, you wouldn't imagine how many physical limitations she was born with. I forsee a very happy, playful kitty who has no idea that she's any different from any other four-legged furr baby. ^3^
So happy for Miette Her bones kind of say pure ugh inbreeding The floof eyes and you careing for her is beautiful
I agree, need to outlaw this ,it's cruel breeding
She’s an adorable little “energizer bunny” baby. Looking forward to great news in a few weeks.
Are you taking applications for her yet? I understand it would be awhile before she is ready, but as someone with joint problems, and knees that hyperextend back and needs to build muscle, I relate to this kitten.
My condition also can’t be fixed, and just needs supportive care and time. We could build strength together!
Do you also have EDS?
