A cat and practical ingenuitySourced
Feet made for one particular cat
Oscar, a cat from Jersey, lost both hind paws in a 2009 accident. Veterinary and engineering work produced prosthetic feet for him, and his walking appeared in television coverage. Later complications required further surgery and revised equipment.
Supporting one animal’s life meant continuing to adapt the tools.
