Rexie je novou hvězdou Instagramu! I přes svůj hendikep se dokáže radovat ze života a nahazovat neuvěřitelně lidské grimasy.

Krásný kocour Rexie měl velkou smůlu, když se dostal do rukou svým předchozím majitelům. Ti ho totiž zanedbávali natolik, že si zlomil páteř, což paralyzovalo jeho dolní končetiny, ještě když byl kotě.

Kocourek má nyní 3 roky a vypadá to tak, že si svůj handicap ani neuvědomuje. „Dělá všechno, co jiné kočky. Až na to, že nedokáže jít na záchod nebo se poškrábat za ouškem, ale na to má nás,“ říká jeho současná majitelka Dasha Minaev.

Ze začátku mu Dasha vyrobila speciální sadu koleček, kterou mu připevnila na záda, aby sloužila jako invalidní vozík. Rexie je však mnohem obratnější bez ní a většinou se bez problémů pohybuje na svých dvou tlapkách. „Kočky jsou velmi nezávislé a rychle se přizpůsobí,“ vysvětluje majitelka. Dodává, že ji focení kocourka ještě nikdy nezklamalo.

Rexie je další z kočičích hvězd Instagramu, která své fanoušky nepřestává bavit skutečně unikátními grimasami!

#LearnAboutRexie A lot of people assume that the only proper way for Rexie and other cats in a similar condition to walk is using a wheelchair. But in fact, it's the other way round. Unlike dogs and a number of other animals, paralysed cats do not need a wheelchair to move around better and have a good quality of life. Most cats do feel better living as they are, without any additional object that we think might help them. Two-legged cats by no means are different from the normal ones, except for being slower and clumsier at times and having no ability to jump. But they do perfectly fine with those two legs they have. They're agile and mobile enough to do their daily cat things and if you put the cat in a wheelchair, it would limit those capabilities. So if you have a cat with rear end issues but who's moving around without any trouble, I would recommend letting him/her live as they are. Buying a wheelchair would be just a waste of money, learnt by the first hand experience. In case you're wondering where I got a wheelchair for Rexie, I bought it from a Ukrainian company Frakishtak. They make high quality custom things for special needs animals and ship worldwide. Just Google the name and you'll find them easily. To prevent sores or wearing fur off of a paralysed waist down cat that has to drag their feet as they walk, a drag bag can be used as an "alternative" to a wheelchair. Rexie doesn't have any issues with that so he doesn't have to wear one.
