In this image made from video, Pooh, a stray cat who lost his back legs in a car accident, walks on his hind bionic paws, in Sofia, Bulgaria. Pooh has been given a new lease of life by becoming the country’s first “bionic cat” with a pair of prosthetic hind legs. Veterinary surgeon Vladislav Zlatinov carried out the operation that in Europe had only previously been done in Britain to give the cat — who was probably hit by a train — a chance of the sort of independence that the traditional solution of a set of wheels would never have offered.bioniccatCat receives bionic legs
