It would be a good idea to keep the cats weight down (easier said than done!) to ensure that no undue pressure is put on her remaining joint in her latter years.
Hi,
My cat lost her rear leg at about 3 yrs old. She's now coming up to 7 years and puuurrrrfectly (sorry) fit healthy and happy. As Racheltje says the scratching behind the ear thing is the main problem, but she still hasn't given up and tries to scratch there with the stump. As someone has mentioned keeping weight down is probably a good idea to keep her mobile for as long as possible. In My house the three-legged cat is the boss of 2 four-legged dogs and my 2-legged husband.
