Two-legged kitty makes anything seem possible

6/9/2012

Anakin, the kitten stalking a string of plastic beads in the above video, has defied the odds. Born without hind legs and a pelvis, but otherwise healthy, the black-and-white stray miraculously was not rejected by his mother and has been taken in by a loving family, which is documenting his cuteness on Facebook. "He is such a sweet calm little guy," family member Carrie Hawks writes. Anakin also seems to defy gravity. "He positions his front legs at an angle towards the middle of his body and balances his backend in the air with the use of his tail touching the ground if he needs it," Hawks observes. "He gets around really well that way." Really adorably, too.
