OK, this one is near and dear to me for so many reasons...

I've seen so many cat and other pet accidents, disabilities, etc. and am always amazed at how resilient they are. The most recent story my friend Bill told me was about a cat with one leg missing that his friend adopted - the cat pretty much just dealt with it and made it work and after being around it awhile you hardly even noticed.
I'd certainly take a pet with a disability in a heartbeat. But it's cool that they can do things like this now (hopefully some of this pioneering is going on in the "people" medical field as well!)
