I have a handicapped cat named Fripple. As a kitten in a barn he was shaken by a dog and sustained back injuries. My daughter took him from the barn and brought him home. He walks flat footed in the back and has no bladder and bowel control. He wears a diaper and is a happy little guy.

Changing a cats diaper must be a barrel of laughs.

Awww! I love that he purrs when he gets his diaper changed.

Awww. He'll be quarterback when he grows up. He has the heart of a champion.

Man, I miss my cat Leo. He didn't look like Fripple, but he had the same spirit, dealing with physical indignities with humor and grace.

How can a cat be happy if he can't lick his own ass?

He is a cutie though.
