Rescued Kitten Is Living A Fulfilling Life, Even Though She Only Has Two Legs
A cat's curious nature can lead it into big trouble at times. Accidents can happen in the middle of their adventures.
They can sustain injuries that might require surgery to alleviate their pain. Leg amputation is one of those procedures.
Amputation may seem harsh to the pet, but the truth is that it is now more prevalent than it once was.
The procedure is significant and will cause drastic changes to the cat's lifestyle. However, these felines can cope well with a missing leg after they adjust to it.
Typically, cats have one leg missing after an amputation. But the cat we're looking at today had two legs removed.
The name of the cat is Duck. She may have undergone a double amputation, but the way she has adapted to her new life is truly inspiring.
Her Instagram username is purrasicduck because she humorously resembles a T. rex waddling with energy and fierceness. People also call her a fluffy velociraptor as she easily walks on two legs.
Now you may be wondering how she came to be like this. Duck was rescued after climbing into a car engine.
She went to an animal clinic after the rescue, where she met her human father, Cody.
He immediately fell in love with her after seeing the cat and decided to keep her. Now, Duck happily spends time with her parent and other animal friends.
Duck when she was just a baby. She had to undergo an amputation procedure at a young age.

Nothing can slow down this cat full of energy.
Since Duck lost her legs at a very young age, getting used to moving with her hind legs became easy. As you watch her videos, you'll see that she's just like any typical cat.
She plays, explores, and excitedly frolics around. It's such a beautiful sight to see that even with only two legs, she knows how to make life fun.
It's truly fascinating to see this cat's adaptability.
She bolts around the home and stands upright. You'd even see her moving like an athlete in the air as she chases her paper ball.
Duck has many friends.
Duck lives with her dad, five dogs, and a one-eyed cat named Goose. She easily fits into the pack.
Look at Duck's Instagram, and you'll see her loving Goose and vice versa. The two met at a very young age and are now snuggle buddies.
Duck has infinite energy and is really playful.
Out of all the dogs, Duck's favorite is Bimini the Frenchie.
After Duck's arrival, she became fast friends with Bimini, who sometimes felt left out. The two are inseparable.
They wrestle and groom each other. Duck can't reach her face, so it's Bimini who licks that part, and then she returns the favor.
These big yet gentle dogs set an example of how animals in a home can get along really well.
One of the dogs is a Golden Retriever named Reed. He's the leader of the pack and loves every member.
Duck also meets more friends who receive foster care in their home.
The fostered animals include puppies, a piglet, kittens, a bunny, raccoons, an opossum, and real ducks too! They may be different species, but they get along really well.
It's a loving home indeed! When not playing with the puppies, Duck relaxes with her two-legged buddies outdoors.
They are a small flock of chickens, and it's as if she can relate well to them.
Goose, just like Duck, is fond of her chicken friends too! It's a peaceful foster home where everyone can make friends.
Sometimes, Duck engages in sports such as boxing.
Duck's story in a nutshell.
Duck is such an adorable cat who's full of energy and life.
She's a source of inspiration too! Her amputation never stopped her from enjoying life to the fullest.
We hope that we can all be like Duck. She faces life head-on, regardless of what she has been through.
