　　美國賓州一隻小野貓，身上竟然有五條腿，而且牠的四肢中，竟然有一肢因為不使用而變形，平常只用三隻腳走路。可說是一隻有五條腿的"三腳貓"。名叫漂亮小妞的母貓，和一般母貓可不一樣，牠左側兩條腿之間，還多了一條往上翹的腿。漂亮小妞原本是流浪貓，常常在一戶人家的後院出沒…那不尋常的第五條腿，讓人嘖嘖稱奇。當地獸醫診察後決定幫牠截肢，截去那只多餘的腿、和變形的左後腿。手術將在未來幾周舉行，到時候漂亮小妞就可以擺脫負擔，成為正港用三條腿走路的三腳貓了。民視新聞孫琬婷綜合報導I

VIDEO: 5-legged Cat Needs Surgery

Cats are known for having nine lives, but one feline in Pennsylvania has a little something extra somewhere else.

A black and white cat named "Baby Girl" was born with five legs as the result of inbreeding.

She's living at the Washington Area Humane Society in the Pittsburgh area until she can find a permanent home.

"Baby Girl" needs surgery to move the extra leg and another one that's crippled.

The shelter is asking for donations to cover the surgery.

Cat With Five Legs Lined Up For Op
Updated:09:41, Sunday January 27, 2008

Cats are known for having nine lives but a special feline in Pennsylvania has five legs - at least for the time being.
The moggy, named Babygirl, will undergo surgery to remove the extra leg and another crippled leg, although the operation has not yet been scheduled.

The surgery will leave the cat with three legs.

This will improve her quality of life, according to the Washington Area Humane Society in western Pennsylvania, where the cat will live until a home can be found for her.

Chrystin Rice, a kennel associate, said a woman brought Babygirl to the shelter on January 19.

Five-legged cat to lose two paws

Baby Girl will have two paws removed in the operation
A five-legged cat is to undergo surgery to remove a superfluous paw growing from the left side of her body.
The stray was found by a US family in Cannonsburg, Pennsylvania, and taken to a local animal shelter, where she was named Baby Girl.

The operation will not make her a four-footed feline, as vets also plan to amputate a deformed left hind leg.

But staff at the shelter say Baby Girl is already adept at getting around using only 60% of current paw power.

Chrystin Rice, who works at the Washington Area Humane Society, says Baby Girl is in good health as she waits for her operation, scheduled to take place within the next fortnight.

"She's a little bit wild, but she is very easy to handle," she said.

"The veterinarians who have seen her are just amazed that she has five legs. It's probably from in-breeding."

The operation will improve the cat's quality of life, the society says.

So far no one has applied to adopt Baby Girl, although there have been a number of calls to inquire about her progress.

But Chrystin Rice says people shouldn't be put off by the extra leg - or the forthcoming lack of one which should be there.

"It's actually a really, really nice cat," she said.

5-Legged Cat to Undergo Surgery
13 hours ago

EIGHTY-FOUR, Pa. (AP) — Cats may have nine lives, but one unique feline has five legs — for now.

The cat, named Babygirl, will undergo surgery to remove the extra leg and another crippled leg, though the operation has not yet been scheduled.

The surgery is expected to leave the cat with three legs, and improve her quality of life, according to the Washington Area Humane Society, where the cat will live until a home can be found for her.

Chrystin Rice, a kennel associate, said a woman brought Babygirl to the shelter on Jan. 19. The woman had first seen the stray animal as a kitten about a year ago in Canonsburg, south of Pittsburgh.

Babygirl appears to be in good health, Rice said Saturday.

"It's actually a really, really nice cat," she said.

Rice said some people have expressed an interest in the cat, but no one has applied to adopt her.

"We've had a few calls come in, but everyone's just kind of asking how's she doing, when's the surgery," Rice said.
