Leo

Our family's youngest member is a three-legged kitten, named Leo in honour of our darling Lea, who passed over the Rainbow Bridge on August 8, 2007. I found Leo on September 5, 2007, on my way to the grocery store. He was missing his left front leg, with the gaping wound still bleeding. I rushed him to our vet who, after removing dozens of maggots, treated Leo's wound with Betadine and put him under antibiotic therapy. Thankfully, he had an extraordinarily speedy recovery. His disability does not slow him down in the least! He runs and jumps all over the place, enjoying life to the fullest. He's very cuddly and always purring, even when he's eating or snoozing.:-) He's such a sweetheart and certainly keeps us entertained with his antics! After the heartbreak caused by Lea's death, we sorely needed the joy and laughter Leo has brought into our lives. At the time of writing (November 2007), Leo's age is estimated at 4 months old and he is growing like a weed (he just loves his Royal Canin Kitten dry food).
