cat that was born with 3 legs never had a 4th leg to lose.

Evolution is not "designed". Evolution is just the propagation of the successful and culling of the weak. Every species that exists is derived from a :quote: defective :quote: mutation of an existing species

Its true though? Unless youre a young earth creationist, you accept that every individual creature is loaded up with genetic mutations. Taxonomy is just as socially constructed!

The point is that a genetically mutated 3-legged cat is not 'designed to' or 'supposed to' have 4 legs. You are putting human value judgements on it to justify why you are including it as a cat despite it not having 4 legs

cats evolved for millions of years to move with four legs. missing a leg is a disability for a cat. it makes everything harder than it would be with four legs.

why are you so fricking retarded?

Evolution does not act with purpose, it simply propagates genes that are successful. In any case, whether 3 legged cats are at a disadvantage or not is immaterial to the point that they are 3 legged cats
