Cat plays with dog toy: when owner looks at it, he suddenly feels very different
Phoenix (USA) - When Mark stood in the kitchen and looked around for his cat , he got a huge shock.
The pet owner was stunned when he realized that his kitten named Lucky had apparently lost a leg.
Mark, who lives in the US state of Arizona, was about to take his tiger to the vet when, on closer inspection, he realized the bizarre truth.
"I was standing in the kitchen preparing dinner while Lucky was having fun with a dog toy," Mark told Newsweek.
"At one point I turned around and saw Lucky lying on the floor with his leg tucked under him and the dog toy right in front of his leg," Mark recounted.
From his casual glance, it looked like one of his kitty's legs had fallen off. "When I took a closer look and realized what was really going on, I took a picture to show my wife and kids. We all had a good laugh," says the US American.
