What do you think about Oscar, the bionic cat?
If you want to see for yourself there are two videos up on You Tube. Just put the words BIONIC VET into the search bar. The second one goes into some detail. The first just shows him walking around.
You lucky folks across the pond get to see the full documentary about it on BBC.
This cat was run over by a combine and had both back feet severed. This British Vet did a procedure termed “intra-osseous” implant, the first of its kind on a cat.
I thought it was interesting that it was the back feet which are so integral to cats’ ability to jump. The entire idea is pretty fascinating.
If anyone knows an Internet source for those of us not in the UK to watch the full documentary, “Bionic Vet” please post a link. Thanks.
