Rescued Paraplegic Kitty Spreads Joy With The 'Cutest Waddle Ever'

Sometimes, a rescued cat waddles straight into your heart. That's certainly the case with Milly, an adorable little fur baby who was attacked by a dog when she was a mere kitten, leaving her hind legs paralyzed. But Milly doesn't sit around feeling sorry for herself. In a sweet TikTok video captioned "my sweet pea, always doing her best 🐾💛🌼" with overlaid text reading "a little waddle, a lot of heart 💛," Milly gets around just fine with her rear legs encased in a protective drag bag. Other videos on TikTok show her joyfully running and playing in the drag bag.

Several viewers of the video — which has been watched more than 26,000 times — declared their love for the feisty little feline, calling her a "beautiful angel" and a "sweet baby" and applauding the "cutest waddle ever." One netizen commented, "Such a beautiful kitty, she definitely has a will and heart of gold." With her indomitable spirit, Milly is one of those inspiring animals who renew your faith in the world.

A few viewers suggested that someone should make a wheelchair for the cat, and Milly's owner explained, "Milly has a wheelchair too, we switch between her bag and wheelchair to keep her strong and comfortable. Watch her other videos to see her roll around 💛🐾."

Adopting a paralyzed pet can be challenging but emotionally rewarding. One viewer of the TikTok video wrote, "I love when people don't give up on animals with disabilities. They deserve to enjoy life too that little sweet baby loves her life you can clearly tell you're amazing." Milly's quality of life is improved by being able to use either a drag bag or a wheelchair at different times.

A drag bag is useful for scooting around indoors, to stop a paralyzed pet's rear legs from getting scraped or injured without the cat or dog realizing it. A diaper can also fit easily inside a drag bag, if needed. A wheelchair, on the other hand, functions especially well outdoors, giving the animal the ability to move around freely and quickly. One netizen praised Milly's owner for giving the cat these different assistive devices: "Thank you for investing in her and giving her the best possible life. She deserves this!"
