Xavier - The Cat on Wheels in Rhode Island

In The News March 15. 2007 EAST PROVIDENCE -

Just when you thought you'd heard it all, they put wheels on a cat.

Xavier is a 10-month-old butterscotch and cream tabby who, because of some undiagnosed neurological disorder, is unable to walk. That all changed Wednesday when the fortitudinous feline was outfitted with a custom wheelchair.
Xavier's disorder, which was discovered when he was still a ward of the Rhode Island Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, is not paralysis. Xavier can move his legs, but he has poor motor control and cannot support his own weight. It is all he can do to crawl around, according to Laurelin Sitterly, his adoptive mother and RISPCA's humane educator.
