Oscar, the bionic cat: part 2

Background: http://www.popsci.com/technology/article/2010-06/british-amputee-cat-first-get-bone-grafted-exoprosthetic-paws

An earlier video, of Oscar's first post-operation walk, is available here: http://videosift.com/video/World-s-First-Bionic-Cat

This one is later on, after he's adapted to his new faux paws.

Wonderful for the cat but my brain keeps wanting to see it as exposed lower leg bones, with the flesh ripped off. Maybe color them black or something.

Yeah, I think they need to make him some little fuzzy black slippers or something.

although its nice to see advancments helping animals. it dose seem strange to me spending this amount of time on creatures when sumular medical techneeks could be used to help people. rather than spending time on this animal this vet could have done a simular amout of training and be helping people instead.

having said that cats are an entertainmunt industry and helping cats is just as redundent as manny peaces of art and film .

would have been far more productive to just eat the cat maby keep a pet that can maintain tiself and actualy has a function , origonaly cats were gr8 for keeping away mice but now they seem largely redundent to me other than companionship but u can obvously get that from other cretures that provide that + other uses.

Hi Westi,
I wuz just thinkin to miself that a dickshunary might be sumthing to put on you burthday wish list.
I dunno maybe its jut me.


I cba to go through a dictionary you could always improve on firefoxes and chrome's spell checking algarithoms.

im sure you use all facits of language perfectly , and are equaly adept at langage at other skills , in the end people have different skill sets , just some are culturaly presumed that everyone should have and there for that opens the dore for people to think they are rightfull to critisize people.

you could allso go about reforming educaion in the uk the methods we use to teach writen language are largely the same as 100 years ago , despite it bing widley known that people have diffrent ways of learning and thus a unified system will not work for eveyone.


personally when it comes to video websites im not to fussed about spelling , so long as things are legable its not that much of an issue.

Westy....you have no soul.


lol maby not , i just put people before cats , i mean id probably put cows and goats before cats , its pritty mental that people would not think twice about eating a cow or a goat and when they get ill they just get a bullit through the head , but when it comes to something that "looks cute" we have to treat it like a human.

as i say i get cats are for entertainment and the value comes from what humans r placing on the cat rather than the intrinsic value of the cat.
