Woman Collects Tripod Cats

Janice Vaughan's cats have not just got nine lives - they have got a total of nine legs between them.

Janice collects cats with three legs!

She is the proud owner of Claude,Jenny and Pringle,who are all one leg short.

She has taken all of them in from the Cats Protection League.

Janice from Lancashire,says her pets' lack of leg power doesn't prevent them from chasing mice and birds.

Three-legged Jenny was the first cat to be homed by Janice five years ago.

Three-legged Pringle,a black and white moggy,was the next to join,followed shortly by Claude,who's also a leg short.

Janice's fondness for three-legged felines began when she saw them taken in by Cats Protection and was touched by their plight.
