Anakin the Two-Legged Kitten

Go to this link for an inspirational article!  It's about a kitten who was born with only his front legs, and no back legs.  But it doesn't slow him down in the least!  He uses his muscular tail as a sort of counter-balance and he's never still, climbing up high and into everything. I was inspired, I thought it goes to show, you're only disabled if you believe you are!  
Have a look on the two  videos posted in the article, they are very cute and funny, and the kitten is such a character, you'd never know he only has two legs if you didn't look closely.

RE: Anakin the Two-Legged Kitten

I heard of a similar story about a dog born without his front legs and walked around on his hind legs. I think I saw it on an episode of Ripley's Believe It or Not.

Most animals can adapt to survive, it's amazing how though.

What a cutie Smile

I wonder if he has trouble with the cat pan? I can't picture how he'd do that, but I suppose that if he can play and get around so well that he has adapted somehow.

RE: Anakin the Two-Legged Kitten

Is it wrong that I find the name Anakin to be funny?


Still, this is an amazing story.

Anakin Skywalker got both of his arms and legs chopped off...

RE: Anakin the Two-Legged Kitten

I don't think I'd call it a funny name, exactly.  I mean, it starts with a capital A, it has three nicely-balanced syllables, ending with a smooth "n".  I like it.

IT'S AN EPIC NAME. @S_B, yeah I noticed the missing limbs reference as well lol.

Nice video. The only downside I can see is, if he has an itch on this ear, he can't scratch it. Tongue

The terminator loses his hand in Judgement day when it gets caught in a machine... That is of course before This happens and you find yourself crying over a dead robot...Ok, Cybernetic organism but that's not the point

What an awesome name for a cat, Terminator would be.

Oh and for names, let's not forget Adam...

**Name reminds him of epic music which he begins to play**

Is it just me or could the Deus Ex series actually produce a gaming movie that was good? That and I can see an Assassins Creed film being good too...

Yet Hollywood decides to make a mass effect movie and destroy what I love...

The conspiracy begins...

A Mass Effect movie?
I didn't ask for this...

Weren't they going to do it with Heavy Rain as well?

The two things in the world which would be rendered pointless and they make a movie of them...
