I just received a rescued kitten - Siamese mix female, 10.2 ounces, in not too
bad shape except for a worm-belly - who has weird back legs. One is worse than
the other, but neither one can be fully extended, stretched out - there seems
to be something binding? She's lying on her back in my lap, now, and her back
paws are tucked up very close to her body ... knees up and feet together - she
could very easily put the soles of her feet together, or even flatten the more
affected one against her so the bottom of that paw was flat against her tummy.

She does use one of them to get around ... the other one seems to have a worn
spot on the knee. They both have some muscle tone and they both do extend some
when she wakes up and stretches.

Anybody recognize this? does it have a name? Is it correctable - maybe
surgically, or just by a determined program of stretching?
