I got this idea while randomly scrolling through the mutation ideas, and remembered a mutated kitten I once saw. Twistie was a kitten from a rescue whose hind legs were twisted in the wrong direction, making her almost completely unable for her to walk. The original owners claimed that she had been born this way, so I can only assume it was a mutation.

In game I feel like the art would be that of a normal cubs, just with the legs drawn in a different angle so that the paws rest on their sides instead of their bottoms, same for adults. (That is if it wouldn’t be classified as lethal.) They wouldn't be able to be posed like most other mutations, and likely be unable to hunt. I still have to research this phenomenon more and try to find more cases of it, but I’m writing this just to put the idea out there so that I don’t forget about it in five minutes like every other idea I have

Possible Flavor Text ideas (I think is what they’re called?)

You see [cub] looking longingly at the other cubs running around and playing with each other. Just as you were about to go talk to them they pulled themself forward with their front legs and scooted after them!

[cub] demands your attention and says they have something important to show you. They stand up on all four legs and ran a few steps before tumbling down! [cub] was beaming with pride.

You notice [cub] being left behind by the other cubs. Looking at their disappointment you decide to flop on the ground next to them and let [cub] playfully attack you.


TW: Brief mention of death

Twistie didn’t make it to adulthood, but it was for an unrelated reason.
