Do you have the perfect car? The perfect husband? The perfect body? Gracie the kitten, short for her full name &#8220;Amazing Grace,&#8221; is anything but perfect in the eyes of the world. She was born without front legs. But in her own mind, she IS perfect. She lives a perfect life and enjoys a perfect love with her owner. She&#8217;s learned to stand like a kangaroo and hop like a bunny, her perfect way to get around. The lesson from Gracie is that it&#8217;s up to us to define perfection. What a great lesson from a sweet little animal.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uKPp4j-YQ00?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Love pets?
