a portrait of Merry....

Merry is a long haired calico of decidedly mixed ancestry. She's 13 years old and was born with deformed front feet. She has no toes, no pads, and none of the usual internal foot bones 0n either forelimb (her hind legs are normal). She can walk, jump, etc albeit slowly and deliberately.

Nikon D7200, Nikkor 55-300 at 300mm, ISO 1600, f/5.6, handheld at 1/15s (with VR).

She just keeps going, though. We still have her mother-- I'll post a photo soon-- and had one of her siblings until her death a couple of years ago. Merry is remarkably resilient.

She is a super sweet cat. We have her mother and had one of her siblings until she died a couple of years ago.
