Hi Everypawdy!
This is Baby Walnut. Well, us babies aren’t real babies anymore. We’re almost one year old! But Momma still calls us babies. I’m the smallest of the three babies, so I’m still little.

Anyway, I wanted to tell you about my orange leg. It is a very special leg. I’m a tiny Tortie kitty, and I have three legs that are mostly black and one back leg that is mostly all orange.

Momma calls it my Magic Leg. I spend lots of time cleaning it to make it look extra pretty. I use it for an extra comfy pillow. I use it to kick all the other kitty butts in the house. I chase the big kitties, smack them, and then run back to Momma.

Momma makes up all sorts of stories about my orange leg. She says it’s fake, and it’s just an orange sleeve over a black leg. She says I can use it as a sack for all my toys. She says it’s what gives me all my energy and super powers to run and jump all day. It gives me power to beat up my stupid brother Peanut and sister Acorn. They’re bigger than me and try to beat me up all the time. But I always kick out with my big powerful orange kicker leg! Pow! Pow!

The only problem is that it gives away my hiding places sometimes. I try to hide, but sometimes forget to tuck in my leg. Oops.

Til Next Week,
Walnut
