    Kitten named Duck, learns run on two feet and she looks like an adorable velociraptor

    Babies are really adaptable. The same can be said for baby animals and it's likely because they just don't know any other way of life so they just go with it. But even knowing that, it's still hard to imagine a kitten getting around with no front legs.

    Cats essentially use everything from their whiskers to their tails to balance, so how would one walk without two of it's four legs? The answer is, carefully at first. Duck is a kitten that had to have both of her front legs completely amputated after she was rescued and while she was wobbly at first, she quickly adapted.


    Duck's human, Cody shares her daily shenanigans on his Instagram page aptly named Purrasic Duck . But recently he told Duck's story to The Dodo revealing her rescue story and the kitten's quick moves. If you're having a hard time picturing a two-legged cat on the run, it looks a lot like a furry velociraptor chasing a laser pointer.

    "I ended up naming her Duck because she kinda waddled. She'd kinda take it slow, she waddled trying to figure out her balance," Cody tells The Dodo .

    Before long though, Duck was off to play with her much larger dog brothers. Her pug brother even offers her a little assistance in the face cleaning area since Duck doesn't have paws to do it herself. No worries, she returns the favor by cleaning his face too. It's an adorable relationship but if you want to see a furry velociraptor chase after cat toys, you'll need to watch the video below.

    duck that so sad birth defeats to children occur as TV commercials advertise for funds sadder is that amputation is sought in prevention of animals because it wasn't a birth defeat man did. I had a neighbor who's arms were Mal formed but she adapted mentally had a good sense of humor & no one made fun to her face nor ever of spastic behaviors of brain disfunctions of physical coordination.
