As much as I rag on my local paper, I was really happy they reprinted this story about Oscar the bionic cat.
A cat that had its back feet severed by a combine harvester has been given two prosthetic limbs in a pioneering operation by a UK vet.
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 rest of the story is worth reading, but this is what everyone really wants to see.
