Bionic Oscar The above picture is of the brave Oscar, who lost both his hind legs when he was run over by and combine harvester whilst basking in the sun.
He underwent ground breaking surgery to help him walk with a pair of prosthetic paws.
It is believed that the success of Oscar's surgery could have implications in the world of human medical science. Mr Nola, Oscars bean said:
"Through our background reading, we were aware that this sort of procedure is cutting edge and also has an impact on human medicine."
So knowledge about the way that Oscar's been treated can be carried over to human treatment going forward"
Oscars Mum bean said:
"We had to do a lot of soul-searching and our main concern has always been whether this operation would be in Oscar's best interests and would give him a better quality of life."
Oscar is fine now and can walk, run and jump like any other cat.
We're sure you'll agree, what super cat!

Oscar's story is amazing. I am so happy that his vet was able to help him this way.
ReplyDeletePoor little fellow, what a sad thing to have happen.
ReplyDeleteWe saw this on the BBC website yesterday. Amazing!
ReplyDeleteWOW! What an amazing thing. Our Gramma just had a bionic knee put in but I think Oscar's legs are more impressive!
ReplyDeleteWe are very glad that Oscar was able to be helped and is getting on so well.
ReplyDeleteThe most incredible part is the ability to jump even with prosthetics. This cat has got to be one of the luckiest ones alive!
