Dopey is mentally challenged and the most loving cat I have ever owned..this pic really shows his hairlip...His mouth and nose didn't grow correctly and according to the vet neither did his brain...that is why he falls over and doesn't have balance of a normal cat.

Pamy, Dopey and Melodie are my two favorite features on TVCH. I love when I see pics of either posted. I rescued a little deformed kitten four years ago (he has bone growing out the side of his front paws and it's awkward for him getting around) and he turned out to be a sweetheart too. Then I got him a sister who seemed to be autistic or something, and she's just the sweetest girl in the world. Still very weird, but my little special pal whom I just adore! (I went from a very, very intelligent siamese "super" cat who was with me for 17 years, to these two "special needs" but I love them dearly and enjoy them as much as you enjoy Dopey.)

Thanks Cassie! I agree! I have had Princess Primadonna kitties most of my life but I will now look for mentally challenged odd looking kitties in the future. Dopey's mom was a stray and she had 7 kittens in our backyard we named them all after Dwarfs, we got them all adopted and we decided to keep Dopey cuz we were afraid no one would love him like we would. That same mom had another litter(before we could catch and fix her, she was wild) and we kept 1 from that litter..Pumpkin Pie...he was in an accident and we had to have his leg amputated about a yr ago..he is doing great!! So we are kinda the misfit cat house! LOL

Awww, poor Pumpkin Pie! Glad to hear he's doing great! Has he adjusted to the missing leg and gets around well? I'm glad to know that your's is the misfit cat house too, lol. My little deformed guy can still jump up but then gets stuck in high places all the time. It must hurt him to jump downwards, so I often come home to plaintive cries and there he is perched on top of the fridge with his eyes popping out of his head, LOL. God knows how long he gets stuck up there.

He is mean as ever to our girl cat!! He can still jump and run when he wants...we installed a special kitty door so he doesn't have to jump the gate if he doesn't want to. Post your kitty pics!

Pamy, I tried posting a few of Master Boswell (Bo the Love Sponge to all who know him) but had to cancel the post as the error message said too big. Do you know how to resize them? I scanned them into my computer a couple of years ago and no longer have the scanner.

You got mail, Jackie Pamy, can you believe they were going to euthanize this little guy if he hadn't been adopted that day. He was isolated from all the other kittens in the 3-tier room when I found him, due to his "deformity."

In this one he's barely bigger than his toy mouse. Now he's almost 15 pounds, most of it muscle.

oh I just want that kitty!! Cassie..you home is beautiful..take more kitty pics in different rooms!! I am so glad you were in the right place at the right time to adopt that precious baby!! If you go to my folder or the dog thread(lol I forgot where i posted)there is a mom and 10 pups we are fostering....they were going to put them all to sleep unless we fostered them. I am not seeing the deformaty. He looks sweet as sugar!

Thank you, Pamy! I'll take more pics in every room and email them to you, LOL. (You're a riot!) I know that you have fostered many animals, thereby saving them, and I admire you and Bill so much for doing that. It must be a ton of work for you too. I do what I can (helping out at Save Our Strays now and again and trying to hook folks up with strays) but I should do more. Bo's deformity is like a 6th digit, except it is just a bone jutting out the side of his paw, so he's walking on deformed feet. Despite that he's healthy enough and is very strong as well as headstrong! When my Persian girl came, he was about 4 months old. She had been the runt of her litter, and didn't seem "right" upstairs and the mother would'nt feed her. She cried nonstop when I brought her home, but he immediately seemed to know that she was "special" and what she needed. He got down on his side, leg in the air and she began to "milk" him, kneading and sucking on his fur. It just amazed me that although he was only a baby himself, he understood and protected her fiercly, even spooning her when they slept. For all intents and purposes she was his cat for almost a year until he figured she was done needing mothering and shoved her away when she wanted to "milk." That's when she started bonding with me; until then, she would hardly come near me. It just amazed me that such a young male cat would know to do that. Now he's the one who needs protecting from her. She knows he's a big softy and takes advantage of him, even though he's 15 pounds of muscle and she's 8 pounds of angora fluff!
