We can rebuild him...we have the technology: The world's first bionic cat
Only in Britain would they even consider giving a cat prosthetic paws. Well, in London, they did just that. Oscar, who lost his two rear paws in what the Boston Globe described as a "nasty encounter with a combine harvester", has been fitted with metallic pegs that mimic the shape and function of a cat's paw.
He's now 'back on his feet', the Globe reports, and hopping over hurdles like tissue paper rolls.
