Tom the 3-Legged Rescue Cat Has Used 5 of His 9 Lives

[joeybee12]

Tom the cat was rescued from a group of kids who were throwing rocks at him. As if that weren't enough, Tom had been hit by a car and one of his front legs was severely injured. Instead of helping the poor cat, the kids were throwing rocks at him. Fortunately, Tom was rescued. And because we're keeping score, that would count for two lives out of nine, leaving him with seven. His injured leg had to be amputated. So let's say he's now down to six lives.

So Tom was in a shelter for almost a year when he was finally adopted. Good news, right? Well ... not quite. Within just a few days, Tom was back at the shelter -- with his only front leg broken. He had jumped off a tall piece of furniture and injured it -- and the people who had adopted him had left it untreated. They gave the cat up. That's one life right there, so Tom was now down to five lives.

2. I refuse to believe

that a broken leg took on of this adorable boy's lives. He is much too tough for that. What a sweetie, I think I'm in love.
