Day 5 - hi res version

Here they are with Baby Ziggy at 5 days old. You can see him motoring around, and whining like he does for a bit. You also see Mama Zoraline all of a sudden decide she needs to check out something outside of the box, and then get back in. Her back left leg doesn't bend, and you can see how she deals with that, sort of.

She's such a good mama. She sure doesn't like the big staring eye of the camera, though. She doesn't really mean any of the growls - you can see she likes petting :)

She has such beautiful eyes...

I'm sure it's explained somewhere I haven't looked yet, but I do have to wonder about that stiff leg. Injury? Temporary? Something permanent?

I'm sure it is explained somewhere, but at the rate I'm posting these days I would hardly expect anyone to look for, let alone find it ;)

She was picked up as a stray, and when the shelter vets examined her they found the unbending knee. They figure it broke, and healed up wrong. It doesn't seem to bother her or pain her at all, and she gets along really well with it. We'll probably have our vet look at her in the coming weeks, in case there's something they could do.

Thanks for the reply. It's good to know, at least, that it doesnt bother her. Sometimes a break that healed wrong can be repaired, but sometimes it's harder on the animal to try and fix it than it is to leave it alone.

Lol she winked XD

[ImpureForce]

it's wonderful what you do for them! And those eyes! Do you think her leg will get better? Sorry, I don't know the whole story...

BUT the camera really seems to upset Zoraline...maybe you could put it on some kind of stand, to be fixed and press record button, so you don't hold it in your hands...she doesn't like when you're close to her with a camera...just find a nice spot to record and leave it there...

Bengals are such talkers anyway. :) Glad Ziggy is getting livelier. :D

When the kitten began complaining all of my dogs came charging into the room to Find The Baby. <3 Zoraline & Ziggy are booful.
