Carryall and Tapioca are dubbed “the tripods” by their cohabitants as they both have only 3 legs. As well, both of their tails are “nuggets” as Tara describes.
My boyfriend got Tapioca from a cat sanctuary where we volunteered. She was so cute and just stumped around on her three legs and we loved her. Then a month or so later, my very old dog died so we had an opening. When I looked on Petfinder I saw another female, gray, three legged cat at the same shelter! I knew I had to have her.
They became best friends quickly. Their favorite spot is a 1950’s slipper chair in their living room. They also sometimes cuddle with their dog, Dirk. Carryall also is small and hasn’t grown much. Tara says “this could be my fault considering that since she was a baby, I would tell her over and over, ’stay little!’ So I guess she listened and stayed little to please me.”
Tara is a consultant and Scott works for The Hartford. They love their three-legged cats: one of Tara’s emails to me closed with “VIVA LA TRIPODS!”
