Six-Legged Kitty’s Life Is In The Balance
A six-legged cat has been born in Florida - and there are fears for her life after vets said she will not survive without surgery.
The kitty, named Hex, was born six weeks ago with two extra legs coming from her stomach.
She does not use the extra limbs, instead they trail around her as she walks, although her middle set of legs sometimes get in the way.
But vets say she is likely to die if she does not go under the knife to have the extra limbs removed.
The feline was meant to be one of a twin but half of the other cat fused to her in the womb, leaving her with the extra limbs.
Now her owners, from Miami, are hoping to set up a fund to pay for Hex’s surgery so she can enjoy a purr-fect life.
A video of Hex has been posted on YouTube and the owners hope the publicity will help raise money.
Of course, Hex isn’t the first animal to be born with a few extra limbs.
Last year a seven legged lamb was born in New Zealand - he had three hind legs and two extra legs that hung loose behind his front legs.
