Oh. My. God.
This is amazing. A vet has successfully attached prosthetic legs to a beautiful cat!
A cat named Oscar that had its back feet severed by a combine harvester, has been given two prosthetics in a pioneering operation. The new feet are custom-made implants that “peg” the ankle to the foot. They are bioengineered to mimic the way deer antler bone grows through the skin.
The operation – a world first – was carried out by Noel Fitzpatrick, a veterinary surgeon based in Surrey, UK. His work is explored in a BBC documentary called The Bionic Vet.

I think it’s great that people care enough to think up these things to help out animals. Most of the time I think we only care about helping humans live a better life.
