i had wanted a somewhat similar contraption for a kitten whose spine was broken at birth and was forced to drag his body on the floor.  i was inspired because i just read at the time about a disabled turtle that was given rolling prosthetics in jordan. 

that kitten i picked up somewhere in a country outside the philippines was so playful despite its disability.  the vet insisted on putting it down.  i went out of the clinic crying.  that evening, the vet sent me an email apologizing for his decision.  he had to do it, he said, to save the kitten and me from worse future troubles. 

Cute legless kitten...

another one who can walk (or roll) again:

Gamera, a 12-year-old African tortoise, shows off his new front “leg” at Washington State University in Pullman, Wash. After Gamera had his leg removed due to an infection, his leg was replaced with a swiveling ball-type caster attached to his shell with an epoxy adhesive.

Cute legless kitten...

is he really legless or his legs are just well-hidden?

Hmm, doesn't his expression show that he is really legless?

Luoy pood intawn. It's good to see that you have so much compassion for animals who are unable to speak out for themselves.

Sadly, this little one was born without front legs...
