The Bionic Cat



150_CatXrayA six-year-old cat named Baby fell from a third-storey window at her home in London and broke both her back legs. Veterinarians fitted her with metal implants to straighten the legs. But it wasn’t the first time. Baby had fallen from the same height as a kitten and already had metal implants in her front legs! Veterinary surgeon Jess Gower said,

“We were stunned to find it was the second time she had done it. Now she has metal implants in all four legs, staff decided to call her the ‘bionic cat’.

“Amazingly, she has healed extremely well and can already move around very well. We hope that in around eight weeks, when we take off the frame, she will move as normal and you’d never know what happened to her.”
