Metal moggy

Vets rebuild cat's FOUR broken legs

THIS is Robo Cat-enforcer of the claw and steel standing after vets rebuilt her legs from scratch.

Blunder cat Baby had surgery to save one of her nine lives after plummeting from a third floor window and shattering her back legs.

But when the feline fractures were X-rayed, vets found she had suffered an earlier accident which left her with two metal rods in her FRONT legs.

Surgery

Now the alloycat, six, is believed to be the only moggy in the country to have undergone such extensive surgery.

And just like the Bionic Man from Seventies TV hit The Six Million Dollar Man, Baby's reconstruction wasn't cheap. The £10,000 price tag means she's also been dubbed the Bionic Cat by her owners.

Jess Gower, chief vet at the Blue Cross centre in Victoria, London-the charity which paid for the op -said: "Baby's back leg bones had broken into several pieces.

"She is the only cat I have seen that has been fitted with a metal implant in each of her FOUR legs."

"Contrary to popular belief, cats don't always land on their feet."
