We had a three-legged cat when I was a kid, front leg missing. He got around... okay. He kinda repositioned his remaining front foot more towards the center when he moved around to make a tripod, and I wouldn't really call anything he did graceful but he still did fine at killing rabbits (we lived in the country). The only thing he couldn't really do was climb trees. He showed up like that fairly soon post-surgery (the stitches were still in), and we never found out if he ran away or was dumped or what, so the reason for surgery/age/recovery time were all fairly unknown but he seemed pretty capable for the ten+ years he lived with us. He was a bit of a grumpy biter if you bugged him too much, but I'd still say the surgery was worth it in his case. But I think it depends on the cat, really. Are they gonna be a good patient? Or at least not miserable for too long. I think the answer for most pleasant, not-elderly, beloved cats is gonna be do it - they heal much faster than people and can adapt to all sorts of weird poo poo, but some cats are just not gonna be good candidates and only the people who know them best are going to be able to make that call.
