Oh, I just posted about the same cat, Oscar, in the Random Discussion (that's Ok - duplicates happen) - I can envison Oscar attracting attention from Aspies as he's cybernetically distinct > http://www.wrongplanet.net/postt129860.html

The article I found (link above) has a mini-clip of Oscar moving about. Great photo, mudboy.

Personally, I think Oscar is terrific and I'm voting for him to join the Wrong Planet. Oscar needs to find a cybermouse

Actually, Oscar can jump! In the vid I found (refer to link, posted above) Oscar hops up onto a box of paper towels and he's not yet fully recovered. Oscar has an amazing will.

tweety_fan: I think I like the article you found best as it includes more about the technology of Oscar's prosthetics.

We did rebuild him topic

I hope he can learn to scratch, but he should be brushed regularly anyway.

I hope this can be done for human amputees as well.
