OctaPUSSY

Hex is a typical, playful 6-week-old kitten. But that's where it ends. He has six legs. His owner, Barbara Flores, says the vets didn't think he would live this long due to his condition.

Veterinarians believe Hex possibly had a Siamese twin that never fully developed. They plan to operate and believe he could survive the surgery. Hex is an only child-- the single cat in his litter.

The operation to remove the appendage isn't cheap, $2,400 - $3,000, which is a bit steep for the Flores family. Anyone who's liked to donate to the cause can contact:
