Happy with your decision. I lived on a farm as a child, and we actually had a cat that was born with only three legs. And as children, of course we named him "Three Legger". Not very original, but apt. He did very well, as your cat seems to be doing. Also LOVE your videos of nature! I take still pictures when it is so beautiful out, but your films are wonderful.
