Hope this isn't GC. Oscar, the cat, gets two new feet. Made me well up a little.

This is a normal post He's a lovely cat too
I watched this on BBC iplayer the other day, the vet who performs the surgeries is a top bloke, and Oscar was so sweet.
The programme was enough to make me (grudgingly) appreciate why I paid my licence fee this year!

This is a normal post Oh for sure!
That's the top of my priority list when it comes to the license fee, "more deformed cats receiving artificial limbs".

Gotta love the BBC!

This is a normal post I'm reasonably sure this has been around the internet 3 or 4 times now.
I hereby dub it SK rather than GC though due to it containing a cute cat, and general heartwarmingness.

This is a normal post I've seen this stroy but not looked into it past the surface.
As far as I could tel lthe cat has recieved prothetic feet. How's that bionic? Are the feet linked into the cats nervous system in any way?

This is a normal post No, but
the metal posts the feet are bolted to have actually been accepted by the cat's immune system as normal bone. Skin and marrow are starting to grow around (and in) it.
From a medical standpoint this is an astounding breakthrough.

This is a normal post Yes, thanks to the BBC and the license payer
they crafted special bio feet, similar to those of Robocop. They fire lazer beams and can launch the cat up to 540ft in a single bound.

This is a normal post 'Bionic cat' sounds better than 'cat with prosthetic feet'
