Introducing Happy, the lovable Bengal cat whose owners have refused to let her disability hinder her happiness. Happy has been paralyzed for most of her life after a spinal injury as a tiny kitten left her unable to use her back legs. However, this hasn’t dampened her spirit as the eight-month-old feline enjoys life to the fullest. Her owners take her on daily adventures and have found creative ways to ensure she remains mobile and comfortable.
Sarah, who works in a warehouse, shared, “When my partner and I adopted Happy, we knew she would need a lot of care and assistance, but we were amazed by how resilient she is. We decided to get her a customized wheelchair to help her move around more easily, but she wasn’t a fan of it.”
Instead, they came up with a solution by creating a makeshift sling out of materials for Happy to rest her legs in. Surprisingly, Happy took to it immediately, using it as both support for her and a way for her owners to keep her close. Sarah mentioned, “She feels comfortable and not restricted when she’s in the sling.”
The couple enjoys taking Happy on various outings, whether it’s exploring caves, visiting a nearby lake, or simply going to the shops and petting zoos. They also mentioned that Happy’s favorite spot is the beach, so they make sure to take her there frequently.
Sarah mentioned that they visit the beach a few times a week, and when they’re not there, they enjoy exploring the woods or going to the local park.
Their cat, Happy, absolutely adores the beach and delights in sitting and wiggling in the sand.
Sarah discovered that Happy has a knack for leading them to challenging terrain.
As soon as Happy’s paws touch the sand, she dashes towards the sea with a strong pull for such a small animal.
Happy is a unique cat who enjoys splashing around in the waves and eagerly searches through rock pools and tiny caves, attempting to squeeze into them.
One of her favorite activities is leaping through the muck and mud left by the receding tide at the beach, which means she inevitably needs a bath when we return home. The time spent at the beach has truly rejuvenated her spirits. Observing her navigate the various terrains and sands, you can witness her fierce determination and the sense of liberation the shoreline provides her. Additionally, she is making noticeable strides in strength with each passing day.
Sociable Happy has really made a name for herself in the local community. According to Sarah, people often stop them to snap photos with Happy and comment on how adorable she is. One time, they took her to a car boot sale and ended up spending hours chatting with folks about her. Surprisingly, some people are taken aback when they realize she’s a cat and not a dog, due to her lively and playful nature. Have any similar experiences to share?
