I visited a friend with a tripaw cat once. The cat limped over to me so pitifully to be petted and fussed over. Later we watched him through the window rocketing around the yard as fast and agile as any four legged cat. The cat had figured out how to scam new visitors. Clever cat!

[@kamladoodnauth2378]

😂😂😂

[@m0-m0597]

i just figured how practical it would be to take off all the legs and then start brushing, no legs in the way after a job well done, attach legs again - wow!

[@SableCatDog]

My tripaw dog does this 😂

[@MonkeyJedi99]

Have you ever seen the clip of the dog who drags his lifeless rear legs over to tourists to get free food, then stands up and runs off on four healthy legs to eat somewhere else?

[@HAL-dm1eh]

@@SableCatDog Dogs are actually known for sometimes faking injuries for attention. Our poodle learned that limp inducing paw splinters or stickers got him lots of love and fuss, and he took advantage of that just enough to not over do it, and fool us every time.

[@hothotheat3000]

Our girl correctly identifying WHY he doesn’t like the nails being done just saved his owners a lot of future stress. Good job!

[@sapphirejade5029]

Absolutely agree with ya. Having a leg missing and not being able to balance probably had the little one worried about falling. Great to see Vanessa help the owners identify what is needed for their beloved furry friend to be okay.

[@j_me]

They must have felt really silly after they realized their mistake 🤣

[@EmpathP]

I heard a vet once say "I believe dogs are born with 3 legs and a spare" after he had to sadly remove a dog's leg after a car accident. And that really stuck with me, as I've never met a three legged dog that wasn't thriving.

[@auntbeth6794]

Thank ❤ You for that beautifully accurate description! I have been privileged to have loved two fantastic tripaws, both lovely girls, never to be forgotten.

[@stellangios]

Wild. I thought it was common knowledge that three-legged dogs need extra care to make sure the remaining limb doesn't suffer from having to compensate, especially as they age. Dogs cover pain, so of course they'll usually seem "fine"?? But obviously it's extra work. If three legs was a good body plan some animal would have evolved it. Everyone is in such a rush to coo over the animal and compensate for some imaginary hatred or pity they're acting foolish saying dogs don't need their legs. Insanity.

[@elliottross3691]

I don't know why you'd let a 3 legged cat roam freely. I don't agree with cats roaming unless they are part of a catch and release program, but a disabled cat?

We have a tripod cat in our neighborhood. When he hops over to you it's so cute 🥹

[@blue2mato312]

A neighbour at our summercottage has a big tripod cat hunting around our cottage. It’s not so cute as it dosen’t stop him from decimating the local birds.

[@kelleyjones2285]

Definitely. One three legged cat is certainly decimating the bird population. 😂​@blue2mato312

[@trumpetmom8924]

We have one in our neighborhood. She’s an indoor-outdoor kitty and is long-haired to boot. Her owners got her a lion cut in September/October last year, right before it started to get really cold in Colorado. She was looking matted before the cut, so I was actually glad to see it, but she must have been chilly as it got later toward November.

I don’t know if you read comments, but if you do, just wanted to say you are awesome and inspired me to find a unique way to help animals in shelters find homes. I’m an artist, and after some networking, found a local shelter (rural Pa) that is willing to let me draw some of their fur friends and share the art and the animals info to hopefully help them find homes. Im starting with the senior ones first. I hope it helps and they can get a loving family. Your efforts inspired me to have the gumption to try to think outside the box to help animals. Thank you for being so awesome and doing what you do. 💜 (love, from a fellow Vanessa)

[@SolaScientia]

Aw, sweet boy. We have a tripod dog (lost a rear leg when she got hit by a car, I think), and she's so sweet. My former neighbors had said they wouldn't have any more cats after losing their previous ones, but they took in a stray with a badly healed front leg and they got that amputated and now that cat is so much happier as a result.

[@rainbowflowerpower4464]

He’s just beyond precious! Aww, I bet with those giant ears he can hear me gushing over him all the way over here in Australia haha

[@ninxflametail9134]

My middle sister has a tripod dog named Watson. He was found as a stray in Italy (my middle sister was in the Navy and traveling a ton) and we assume he got hit by a car and his leg was badly injured to the point where it had to be amputated. He was terrified of humans at first but after he and my middle sister moved back to the USA he got used to other people including our family. We’d often dogsit him whenever she was in the Navy traveling and he grew an attachment to my dad since he would be with us for many months. My middle sister retired recently so he now stays with her happy and living the best life. He’s an incredible dog with an incredible backstory. We all love Watson so much, even if he barks at the tv whenever there’s another dog, a cat, or a horse on it. He’s not the brightest dog of the pack, but he’s still a very good boy

[@woobgamer5210]

I took a break from your videos in early september due to my 15 year old fluffer doggo being put to sleep, as his old age was making him suffer with awful runny stools, constant exhaustion, and he was getting very bad cataracts, and he would sometimes not eat, and drank too much water. after that, life got more confusing and hard for me to deal with until just last month, but now i'm ready to watch your content again, even if there's always an empty hole in my heart

[@sapphirejade5029]

I know it's hard to lose a furry friend. I lost many while growing up due to old age. Dogs who loved running around and licking my face and cats who helped me feel warm and comforted after a session or two full of frustration and stress from work or inspire me to write stories. Know that your furry friend is no longer in pain and is roaming happily is Heaven. Here's a few hugs to help along the way.🫂🫂

[@maeterith1984]

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. Very sad. 😢.

[@kimberlym5988]

Most of us here know how hard it is losing a furry friend. When you are ready though, another doggo or pet will bounce their way to you, to give you companionship and love. Just open your heart, and while they will never replace the one you lost, they will still be wonderful companions in their own way.

[@yomp599]

I love that you figured out how to clip this very good boy’s nails, and I adore your channel. Thank you for posting. ❤👍🏾

[@susand484]

I had a tripod dog that had similar coloring. He was in the street with a damaged front paw that was infected. Removing the whole leg was the best option. Rescues are forever grateful! He would have done anything for me. He adapted immediately! One time he got attacked and he couldn't use one of his back legs. The vet put him down on the ground after he was stitched up and he ran off on two until he stopped to wait for me. I ran and caught him before he fell over. He was so surprised that two legs were not enough. He recovered from that nasty wound with a lot of help and then was even more grateful!

[@montaredpanda8095]

Dogs and cats both are incredibly adaptable after losing a limb. It’s amazing.

I loved that Vanessa considers the possibilities of WHY the dog (or cat) might not like something and can often find a different angle. When they mentioned Briggs didn’t like his nails cut, I had a feeling it was because of his balance, having even one leg lifted would leave him discombobulated and decidedly uncomfortable. This way the job can be done without upsetting the lovely man!
