Candycorn Terrordactyl Muenster Cheese once again demonstrates how to be utterly relaxed.

We joke that we might someday buy her some bones.

(Much to our surprise, when she was 9 years old, we discovered she, in fact, does not have either femoral head.)

Candycorn on her special orthopedic cooling bed. Candycorn doesn't have any femoral heads. Her femurs just stop. There is no ball for the ball-and-socket hip joint. We have no kittenhood medical records, but the U of MN orthopedic vets believe she had asymptomatic avascular necrosis of the femoral head as a kitten. We did not discover this until she was 9 years old. Thread 1/5
