  • Great to see your video. I have just been told today my cat has got to get his leg amputated this week cause of cancer, so it gives me hope he will be able to get around without it,

    

  • Breaks my heart... Why is he LAUGHING! that's not funny! I think they just called him to see him run poor thing there's just nothing funny about an amputated cat running IF they're laughing at the cat I'm not sure but I'm really upset right now because I just lost the cat that I was so attatched to because we moved from my aunts house (it was her cat) I'll miss U CLOVER!! ohh... I think I'm gonna cry now

  • Please join my campaign on indigogo to save my cat Sweetie so he can be a happy three legged cat like Link- join the campain at indigogo dot com/ help-save-sweetie-the-cat

    Thanks in advance and spread the word :)

  • Omg the guy was laughing at him. I think they only called him so they could see it run. Breaks my heart :/

  • WHAT HAPPENED TO THE CAT !!!!! I CURSE THE PERSON WHO HURT IT OR IF IT HURT ITS SELF THEN.... T_T

  • Dat_Movement

  • Awwwwwww so cute! My cat Muck just had his back leg amputated because he broke it in five different pieces buts its not slowing him down one bit. Still not as fast as yours though :p

  • Do they feel depressed after they get their leg amputated like a human? Really from a cat expert please not from ppl who assume they do... Also I mean for us humans itS way different bc our lives change drastically if we lose one leg.

  • @MzChelxoxo From experience and reading, they seem to adjust fairly quickly. I had a three legged cat who didn't allow it to interfere with what he wanted to do. 3peeo kept up with all my other cats. They're not like humans. They have more courage than most of us. He even climbed the tree when he was outside. It was harder to get down than it was to climb up but he managed.

  • Im honestly ccrying :(

  • @Pumpkin112000 don't cry, this is a lesson of strength of heart and the will to keep moving forward after life hits us hard.

  • who needs four legs? humans only have two! :D

  • My cat had his back leg amputated yesterday. Thanks for posting this. It'll be a long road of recovering but good to know there's a light at the end of the tunnel!

  • My cat got his back leg amputated today. I was paranoid that he would not adapt. Seeing your video makes me feel so much better about this. Thank you for posting this.

  • lmfao

  • i found a kitten in my engine today... we started the car it made a loud noise we checked under the hood and there was this little kitten we caled the fire department and they got her out but her leg has to be amputated tommorrow

  • My kitty just had his leg amputated. This video makes me feel a little better about it. Thanks for posting it!

  • Holy crap does that cat run fast!

  • My late Corkie cat, lost her right hind leg to VAS but she got around fine and even climbed up and jumped down from a 6 foot kitty post!

  • I just saved a kitten from the drain today. I realised she was lame on her right paw. I was scared for her. Gonna get her check out tomorrow. It seemed like a birth defect though. I think I'm going to keep her. This video gives me hope. Thank you for posting this.

  • I have a three-legged cat. He's missing his left front paw and he moves just as well as my other two cats who have all four of their legs. (They had to amputate due to some disease, cancer, or infection. I'm not entirely sure. He was like that when we got him.)

    If you have the opportunity to adopt an amputated cat, like this one, go for it. There's nothing different about them than other cats except that they hobble at walking pace, but mine is fully capable of running.

  • Its cute but im just saying at the end at like the end when its running it looks like a ape But its sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooooooooooo CUTE

  • This is a very belated thank you. Five months ago I was considering adopting a three-legged rescue cat. Seeing this video of Link made me feel confident enough to take the plunge. And, I'm pleased to say the end of this story is a happy one. You had a hand in giving this abandoned kitten a home and our family a wonderful pet. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

  • aw poor cat glad he's doing fine

  • wow what a trooper

  • I just wondered, did you know if a cat thats had its front left leg amputated can it still walk around at its normal pace? because my cat had her front leg amputated, and today we take her to the vets to give her the once over, then we will let her out of her cage and get rid of it (the cage, not the cat).

  • @ECmagick I saw once three legged cat in a hotel in portugall. she walked quite well (well, she was rather hopping but did not pause for too long and seemed very happy and full of life).

  • @venushalley thanks! my cats getting LOADS better now, can even jump up on my lap and get up/down the stairs! again thanks!

  • funny but sad to watch him run, lol

  • Thank you for posting this. A dear friend sent it to me because I am faced with having to have my beloved cat’s hind leg amputated and she knows how guilty and bad I feel. This video helped me a lot to see that with only 3 legs a cat and still have a quality and active life. Thank you again.

  • my cat Bunny has a problem with her back leg and has been hopping around on three legs for a few weeks now. I hate to see that her leg causes her so much pain that she can't put any pressure on it. this gives me so much comfort that since surgery won't help her, she might be able to run and hop again as her name suggests. thanks so much!!!!

  • my cat has lost its right back leg for almost a week now and its extremely depressed... it hasnt done anything active. Is there any way of cheering it up or does it just need more time? im starting to get worried

  • i know the cat isn't in any pain,but i still hate seeing them without a leg ); ,,x

  • My cat has 3 legs, but his front right arm is gone...it's a lot harder for him to walk...his name is Shifty.

  • lol my cat runs like this and has 4 legs XD what a goof.

  • it looks like hes coasting the ground with his tail for support thats pretty amazin

  • FINALLLL STAAAAAANNNNNNDDD

  • I have a cat that lost her leg in a car accident also. You'd think it'd stop her from bringing in the odd rodent but no...

  • three legged cat run so cute

    my blue Burmese runs the exact same

  • there are two kittens with three legs at the animal shelter I am volunteering at. They both lost their rear right leg due to complications when they were being born. They realy seem to have adapted well to only having three legs.

  • I just got my cat back from the Vet after having her right hind leg removed. She's upset and it's very sad but better than the alternative. I look forward to when she can run like this :)

  • Amazing!

  • Not too long ago my cat had babies. 5 of them and one of them no right leg. The cat had babies outside in the barn so no1 knows what happened. I was so upset and didnt know why he deserved that. but these videos make me feel a lot better :) (His name is Peg Leg)

    take good care of this cat.

  • In the cat community, we often say that a cat has 3 legs and a spare. They do very well on 3 legs.

  • @mrblanche hahaha thats so stupid

  • I have a three legged cat that looks just like this one. It is amazing how they adapt and learn to run diagonally. Without therapy or anything.

  • I'm so glad to see this video. My sister's cat Sammy might have to have his leg amputated if the bone doesn't heal. Vet's will know on Monday. I was really weary about doing that, but apparently they do adapt. Thanks for sharing this! Beautiful cat by the way :)

  • Comment removed

  • my cat has 3 and 1/2 legs... half is missing in the front.. shes soooo cute :D

  • awww im sorry, but ur cat is so cute, and i would actually say better then other cats!!!

  • My cat is the sam way.

  • we just ran over our cat. its leg was twisted. its leg was amputated it is acting just normal

  • i have a 3 legged kitty cat it was a birth defect

  • I'm glad this cat adjusted well.

  • O.o He's amazingly fast!!!

    And i love it when he hopes *O*

  • Amazing O_o He has great speed :P

  • wow when he is running u cant even tell! :) super cute xx

  • the 1 thing i hate about cats. is when hey pick on other 3 legged cats only because there different......but ......there ony different because there special but in the end there all the same. just some have might have legs but so what at least there still alive and kickin!!!

  • I'm thinking of adopting a three-legged cat. This video gives me hope that hope that this one might do just fine. Hope my other cats are nice to him! :>)

  • @ktodd82052 Hi there -- glad to liked the clip. Be sure to check out 3 legged cat climbing too! By the way, Link is crazy.

  • @ktodd82052 I have a three legged cat (had her for 9 years before the accident) and I'm getting a 2 years old 3 legged kitty for my sis in 2 weeks. :)

  • @ktodd82052 My cat lost one of his back legs last week. And indeed gives hope they do just fine :). Looks a little bit weird right now.

  • its socute! my cat has three lags too due to abusement by someone else. he doesnt have any toes on his back foot either but he's adorable and we love him just the same.

  • Cat runs faster than some with 4 good legs!

    Even in slow motion still runs fast

    Link is a cool name and good looking cat

  • i have a three legged cat named mittsu. its hilarious to see him hop around!

  • wow thats such a pretty cat. its nice 2 see animals go on wit life and not hav a handicap hold them bak. alot of ppl out there can learn from this cat

  • my 3 legged cat, "tripod" lost one of his front legs after getting it caught in a fox trap. You would never know it if you saw him run

  • cat is so cute

  • OH MY GOODNESS!!! Hehehehe my three legged cat looks JUST LIKE HIM!!! My sister and I found him when he was only a day old-his mother had abandoned him and his leg was missing and infected. We treated him and fed him with a dropper and miraculously he survived :) We named him "Kaden" meaning "fighter", which he really is!! He is such a blessing to our family :)

  • @scrubschick87 That is so awesome! i wish there were more people like u in this world :')

  • Your video makes me happy-

    My oska cat has 3 legs for about 5 years now, every one told me to get him put down :( and i was like.. would you put a human down cos they had a broken leg:( He is healthy and happy.....i Love my oska cat........

  • Geez...big difference when a dog is missing a rear leg, they need a wheel chair. But why would you let your cats go outside regardless of any handicap?

  • Touching...

  • For some reason, missing a front leg looks a lot stranger to me than missing one in the back.

  • nah, back is wierd. when they loose one of their forward legs. they place the other one in the center

  • My friend's cat Bubbles looks just like Link, 3 legged and all, but has a front leg missing instead :)

  • I let my cat go outside for the first time in three weeks after the amputation and after one hour she had caught a mouse, so shes doing very well LOL. Dont worry if your cat needs to amputate a leg, they will not even know anythings gone and are very fast when they run, but looks a bit strange when they walk thats all. So dont kill your cat if a leg is damaged people!!!

  • This video makes me happy. I just decided to get my kitties leg amputated because she has a really bad break....and i dont have the money for surgury. But seeing this cat happy and running makes me feel better abut my choice.

  • Runs like a cheetah!

  • LMAO lolololololololololol  im sorry, rofl

  • My cat was bit by a dog yesterday an has to amputate her right leg. It will cost 1500 dollars, should I make my neighboer who owns the dog pay the 1500? At first the vet said that its not often they amputate cats, but I made her agree do it, i dont want to put her to sleep, and seeing this video I think I made the right call

  • A little unfair they can't tell there dog not to

  • But it happened because she could not hold him back and he attacked my cat on my property. on my porch. She is to blame for walking him on my land when she cant hold him back in my opinion

  • My cat has had 3 legs for years i think she was run over but she was found and rescued. We got her from a rescue home and they are fine with three legs! just a bit weird to look at

  • CONTACT A LOCAL HUMANE SOCIETY... the surrounding vets all quoted me 15-1600$'s and i stressed that i can't afford that and for my cats health, til i found my local humane society and the price changed to $700 with all the same procedures and anesthetics. and just as qualified and experienced vets. Humane Society was reared to save animals lives, they will help you.

  • Thanks for the info, but I already paid the vet and drugstore over 2000 dollars for the operation, special food and medicine. but it was worth it. My other cat is bigger and he protects her from other cats when they are outside

  • i saw a cat with three legs, i think it was white and ginger, it was sooo cute, i just want it now! lol

  • Comment removed

  • My siamese cat Leonardo is missing his front right leg. His breeder said his paw got caught in the crate door when he was a week old. He's the best cat we've ever had; very smart, very cute, and loyal. He's not disabled at all -- he's just as fast as 4 legged cats. He's had a lot of adventures so far in his two years. He lives with his sister, Cleopatra (they're two litters apart) in our home in Wisconsin.

  • I love handikitties! This cat hauls ass, he doesn't let his disability get him/her down! Beautiful!

  • My cat has 3 legs to hes front leg was in a fox trap and got amputated . It was in the news paper. I dont no how hes doing it but hes still jumping fences fighting in the cought and climbing trees. Hes on youtube as well under Cute Three legged cat - Russell

  • poor cat...my cat has three legs too; she was missing her front left leg ever since we got her and we don't know what happened...she's perfectly fine though :)

    i glad to see your cat is too nya~

  • My cat had been missing for a week when on sunday, she showed up on sunday skinny, filthy and with a broken leg. We took her to the vets and got her x rayed and her femur has splintered because she has been wlaking on it. it was either put her down or amputate her leg so she has had her leg amputeted today. so this video has kinda cheered me up!

  • Ha ha ha

  • My cat who is 8 years old had to have his back leg amputated, and we got him back yesterday. Right now he is very sore of course, but I am wondering how you got your cat moving again. Mine only is moving when he has to, and considering his laziness, that isn't very often. If you have any tips at all for getting your cat walking again or how much is appropriate at the early stages, please let me know. Whenever we put him standing he just gives up.

  • I got a kitten today, only three legs. the one leg was infested with maggots, so they amputated it. It was also born with no tail, and has 1 blue eye, 1 green eye. And yet.... It's still the perfect kitten.

  • My cat got hit by a car monday, and we had to have her hind left leg taken off. I thought it was going to be really sad but we picked her up today and brought her home and shes already acting normal. shes jumping on the back of the couch and climbing on window sills. its amazing how losing a leg has barely affected her. of course shes not used to it yet, its her first day but shes doing fine. We had the decision to put her to sleep or take the leg off, im glad we had the leg taken off.

  • i feel sorry for your cat but im glad to read that shes doing fine!

  • @Codyw2011 God bless you and your cat

  • where you from>->

  • Thats so sadd :( Im just glad hes fine =)

  • Runs and walks just like my baby girl Marbles. Infact she is missing the same leg. The right hind leg, correct? She's still a quick little thing as well. She's lived with 3-legs sine age 1, but not even her mother realizes it's missing! Does your kitty ever trying to scratch her neck or ears with /hisher missing leg, and all that moves is the little nub? Also does she ever get fleas and lumps/ absesses in places he/ she can no longer scratch?

  • god bless you. for this video gives me great hope for my cat.

    and to the few negative people leaving comments that are negative i hope it happens to you and see how funny it is.

  • i love the way it's just running at full speed then just randomly sits down

    xD

    such a pretty kitty!

  • It's great how animals adapt so well to losing a limb. They are just as happy as one with 4 legs.

  • Wen cats get fixed, the girls react worse rite? Lol not my cat! Ember (the girl) is better and more active then before and Shade (the boy) just got fat and lazier! lol XP

  • My cat Lucifer had his back leg amputated last night. I havent seen him yet but maybe ill get him home tomorrow from the animal hospital. Im so so worried how he will react to his missing leg. We always play together and run. This video gives me some comfort, but im still worried though. Thanx

  • Thaks for the video, my cat Mico is having his back leg amputated tomorrow :(

    Needed some reassurance that I'm doing the right thing, now I feel much better.

  • Glad to hear it, canna05. Take a deep breath: Mico will be just fine. Hope all goes well with the surgery.

  • Cats adapt really quickly we and a friend both have amputee moggies. Ours runs -perdoink perdoink perdoink! She lost her leg over 10 years ago and is her usual belligerent old boot - ish self! Our friend's cat was called Brian and lost his leg 6 months ago...they re-named him Bripod, lol.

  • My cat is at the vet having his back leg amputated as I write this. Some jerk hit and him and sped off. Seeing this video made me feel loads better. I guess all in all, I make due with two legs. Three probably aint so bad. Cool.

  • Sorry to hear about your cat, ashtraytv. Glad you gained at least a little bit of comfort from Link's story. I really think your cat will adjust. Check out our latest recently posted video of Link called "3 legged cat climbing" to see what he's doing NOW.

  • aww this cat is so amazing!

  • Mine is having his right back leg amputated 2mrw :( Poor bebe, Im sure he will adjust though.

  • lol i love cats

  • My 14 year old cat got one of her ront legs amputated because she got hit by a car and it was the most heartbreaking thing. That was two years ago, and now shes 16 and doing incredible. She acts like she still has 4 legs (:

  • i have a 3 legged kitten, and when it was a small baby it had to get its back leg amputated off. It doesnt even realize its back leg is missing, and it adapted very quickly. Now, when it has an itch in the head the little stub moves and we all run over to go itch his head, Hes adorable.

  • llink lookedso funny running he waz fuuny when he stop and anoyed you

  • thank you. your video just brought tears to my eyes. We had to amputate our cats rear leg today after a car accident. It's been a very trying 24 hours.. but your video made me very happy.

  • So sorry to hear about your cat, whatthekurt. I hope he/she heals up soon, and if he's anything like Link, he's got a good life ahead of him!

  • Wow, hes awesome, its awesome how leg-missing animals can adapt quickly.

  • cute kitty

  • I once heard about a lady who was contemplating having her cat put down after she learned she would have to lose his front leg. However, the vet showed her his three-legged cat in motion, and the lady realized her kitty would have a normal life with three legs. She thought before it would be more compassionate to euthanize the animal, but quickly changed her mind.

    Thank you for posting this video. Videos like these save feline lives.

  • how is it crule to have a healthy 3 legged cat put down that's crule putting a purrfectly healthy cat down just coz it has 3 legs

  • He is so cute! He may be missing a leg but he is still as beautiful as a 4 legged cat <3

  • My cat was exactly like that

  • he/she can run though

  • thats sad

  • poor thing

  • LOL.

    WHEN HE RUNS THE PART WHERE HE'S MISSING HIS LEG DRAGS.

    :P

    I bet he gets carpet burn when he's running in the living room

  • My three legged cat Chucky runs the same way. When he walks, he hops like a rabbit, but when it comes to running, he is as fast as my other cats.

  • Note: my last comment was to brainburger

  • Note: my last comment was to brainburger

  • My cat is missing the exact same leg due to a birth defect. And he runs just like this one!

  • He uses his tail for balance

  • NO THEY DIDN't! I KNOW THE PERSON WHO OWNS THIS CAT! I'VE SEEN THIS CAT IN REAL LIFE! I even know it's name! It's Llink!

  • whoa it can run good for three legs only!

  • that is awesome that that cat can move like that. God works in mysterious ways

  • He just centers his one back leg in the middle and gets after it! Cute!!!

  • thats like my cat :) same white "socks" :D

  • I hope he stays safe AMEN

  • God bless 'im!

  • precious

  • that looks just like my cat and the same size crazy huh?

  • haha my mom has a cat like that, i always get a laugh when it sits down and tries to use the rear leg it lost to scratch itself.. you see the twitch of the area where the rear leg was. cute!

  • Haha awesome!

  • WOW that is amazing!!

  • omg he looks just like one of my old cats named Spike except he had like a Y shaped spot between his eyes

  • I love him! He runs great!

  • I recently lost my cat called tiger he had 3 legs aswell there really fast arnt they with 3 leggs lol

  • aww I'm sorry! Are you going to adopt another one?

  • he was running faster than my 4 legged cat...

  • He runs like my three legged cat. :)

  • Aww! Linky's so cute! ^_^ His face looks like that of our cat,Fred! :D

  • The cat is alive, having fun and being well looked after theres PLENTY to be happy about. Also the cat acts like he still thinks he has 4 legs lol and well i laughed at the video and im sure the cat didnt mind.

  • how dare you laugh! it warms my heart that that cat is still running like any other cat was. Hopefully he'll get used to only having 3 legs and then he can run normally.

  • What's wrong with laughing? I pity those who live life without humor. The owner was obviously playing with their cat and laughing at his silly movements and antics. The cat didn't mind; the only person who took offense from the laughter was you.

  • imagine me smiling when i say that...

    i wasn't taking offense.

  • our cat Belle had her back leg amputated two months ago - and your video was one of the ones that made me feel better about having the op done! She is now fully recovered and getting out and about again- although a bit tentatively as the injury was due to a dog bite so she is naturally quite nervous. Thanks for posting it made me feel assured that our much loved cat would be ok and lead a happy life.

  • Glad the vid brought you some comfort. I was amazed to see how well Link got along -- it was downright inspiring. I'll make sure my brother and his family (Link's owners) see your message.

  • Great film!! Our cat Captain Pugwash has just had his hind leg amputated after a car accident. (He wasent driving lol) For an old timer, in the 3 days since the op he is climbing stairs and jumping onto work surfaces. Just dosent seem to bother him too much. Is amusing to see him lean on walls as he gets around tho. All he needs is a parrot and Pugwash (he has a black eye patch marking) can audition for Pirates of Caribean 4.

  • Thanks for your comment! Glad to hear The Captain is adjusting to the three-legged life. He and Link should meet sometime!

  • lol. of course if there is food involved the cat is gonna haul ass over there.

  • I love the video wichich u already know cause i told u at school but still. P. S Its me Soph

  • yoverne, that was for ur neice! (page 4)

  • Thanks for rushing to Link's defense! He's a very cool cat.

  • THATS AMAZING!!! animals lose a limb and what do they do? they suck it up and keep runnin just like this one...what do we humans do? we cry and bitch cuz we lost a leg..ya well how bout you get off ur 1 legged ass and learn to walk with one leg

  • Exactly, and with the technology we have nowadays to be able to create prosthetic legs, I still don't get why people are complaining.

  • I see...he runs, has his back left leg in its normal position, but then shifts it over to the position of the right leg, is that it? Well, that's what it looks like to me, anyway.

    Oh, yes, and...

    CUUUUUUUUUUUTEE KITTY~~ I LOVE HIM! *Snuggles* ^__^

  • Its amazing how fast that cat can still run... poor little guy.

  • Ah, adorable. I have a 3 legged Wonder Lab (Casie). Same leg missing. And yes, they compensate amazingly and you cannot tell they are missing a leg. I forget that she is 3 legged.

  • My cat Merlin rescued, 1/2 back leg missing, doesn't know he's handicapped either! Doesn't jump on tables or counters at all. He's spoiled, but not nearly enough.

  • We once had a 3 legged cat ....his name was Tripod.

  • its sad. i love animals
