Cat Gets Bionic Feet
A Cat Gets Bionic Feet when it’s hind paws were accidentally severed by a combine harvester, The feline has been fitted with a new pair of artificial paws or feet. Talk about nine lives!
A British cat, named Oscar has made a full recovery after being fitted with a new pair of artificial bionic feet.
Fitting a cat with a double prosthesis, below its ankle had never been performed but the doctor has high hopes that this miraculous groundbreaking operation could improve quality of life for human amputees and of course for pets.
Oscar’s custom-made implants, Intraosseous transcutaneous amputation prosthetics or ITAPs, were modeled after deer antlers, which have a honeycomb structure that bones can grow through and skin can grow over.
It only took a three hour procedure, performed at an animal hospital in Surrey, England, by neuro-orthopaedic veterinary surgeon Dr. Noel Fitzpatrick.
Way to go Doc, you get a big Baby Boomer thumbs up. As do the owners of Oscar, for loving him so much and saving his life.

What is a healthy brand of cat food? Should I feed him both dry and canned? How many times a day should I feed him, and how big should his portions be? (or does it vary depending on the breed?)
Any treats that are good for teeth?
What kind of snacks can I give him?
Tips?
Thanks
I do not give my cats store bought food. I make their food. There is no regulations of pet food and so the pet industry has taken that loophole and literally killed millions of pets down through the years.
If you find the idea of feeding a cat so puzzling, perhaps you should get a gold fish or a pet rock. They are a lot less to contend to.
