A 5-legged cat on TikTok is definitely not your average feline! It's simply a cat with an extra leg, making it a bit of a rarity. While it may sound like something out of a sci-fi movie, having five legs is actually a genetic mutation that can occur in any breed of cat.

Interestingly enough, the fifth leg can be fully functional or could just be a small appendage that doesn't serve much purpose. However, regardless of the functionality of the extra limb, these cats are known to be perfectly healthy and happy.

What is the 5-legged cat on TikTok?

Lu, a domestic cat of seven years old, is largely propelled by her front legs because one of her ‘regular’ back legs is afflicted with a disease that prevents it from extending fully.

However, one of the TikTok users @Leggylu5 answered the most frequently asked questions about Lu in a video clip.

Moreover, the most crucial query was posed by TikTok user @Diedrich, with "Is she feeling beautiful? because she IS beautiful."

“Did she steal the leg from my three-legged cat,” asked another TikTok user @Charliv17.

Similarly, “I have a cat with three legs but one back leg, do you think we might make any form of trade?” asks @Aus on TikTok.

3-legged cat makes people go wow

Shiva, a stray cat with three legs, was given a second chance at life. Shiva, who has four legs, begins the story by attempting to survive on the streets. Shiva's hobbling made it obvious to the volunteers when they first saw him that he was in difficulty. After several failed efforts, they eventually succeeded in capturing him.



 

Shiva was carried inside and later taken to a veterinarian, where he sadly needed to have his front limb removed. The three-legged cat was discovered to be adorable while donning a hand-made jumper.
