    We have the capability to make the world's first bionic cat. Ryzhik will be that cat. Better than she was before.

    Better....stronger...faster...

    The cat looks uncomfortable walking on them. Being as joint replacements for humans don't last but 10 years at best because the bone around them degrades, I have to wonder how long these will last after the bone mostly or fully grows into the framework.

    The title of this thread is confusing. Wouldn't the first cat in the world be a fossil now?

    Poor kitty, but I'm glad science/tech could achieve something that could benefit the animal.

    I hope the cat will manage okay.

    They did it. They made it paws-ible. After continual testing on humans, they clawed their way to making catbots. No longer will cats be neko-lected due to not having legs! This truly is a tail to behold....prrrrrfect.

    Finally, a cat that can stand up to C.H.O.M.P.S.

    There's an obscure, dated reference for ya.

    I thought of some more:

    "Come viz me if you want to nap"

    "Your snuggles....give zem to me"

    "Listen. Understand. That Catinator is out there. It can't be reasoned with, it can't be bargained with...it doesn't feel pity of remorse or fear...and it absolutely will not stop.Ever. Until your upholstery is dead!"
