Today’s photohunt theme is “broken”.
When I found Azar in the square with his left front leg broken – some #@%¿! had tried to kill him – I knew that I couldn’t leave this little street cat out there to fend for himself. It took a while before I finally managed to get him home, but he is now going on 15 and can run around on three legs very well. He can also do a death-defying walk along the back of the sofa. And he is a total cuddle monster.
Azar means chance or happenstance in Spanish
And his little broken hockey stick leg is actually his “pata de suerte”.
Funny how things turn out…












“pata de suerte”?
He’s the least broken- lookin’ fella i ever saw. I love his “jungle panther on a branch” way of occupying the barstool.

Pata de suerte = lucky paw. I already had two cats at the time and probably wouldn’t have taken him in if he hadn’t had his leg mangled. Lucky for both of us.

What an adorable cat! Thank you for taking him in when he needed you. Though it’s obvious you’ve benefited just as much as him. Aren’t pets wonderful? 🙂
