Poor little flipper! We've recently taken in a dog named Pal with a funny paw, and in our house it makes him LESS intimidating to the cats. The breeder who sold off the rest of his litter for $800 each, was going to have him killed just because of his funny little paw! A good friend of mine saved his life, and loved him for 5 years. He's now living with us because her health problems have made it too hard for her to give him the love he deserves. He's a great ambassador for so-called "imperfect" pets, we couldn't have asked for a better 3 and a half legged friend. I hope that flipper can find a home with other cats to be friends with, who will see her bopping along like my Pal, and not care a bit! Jody
