Just because we can, doesn't mean we should...

No, too small

Totally different bone structure imo, save money and build human limbs, not two chicken drum sticks.

 

Read the link I posted. There is more than the mere design of limb here.

I don't agree with doing that to an Animal.

 

Confining that Cat to indoors for the rest of its life is Cruel.

How is it going to dig a hole in the litter box or scratch behind its ear.

Any more cruel than clubbing seals?

Stillcould have been money better spent, but with a dog it would be a wheel chair. So only good on cats ?? I would still put cat down. £2000 just to make 2 drumsticks not inc op.

More than likely, but at least most humans are capable of making the choice of whether they wanted experimental treatment?

 

I still maintain that the cat would most certainly prefer to be alive rather than dead. That is surely the choice to consider.

What price would you put on an animal's life, Ian? Assuming you wish to look at a life in pure financial terms, of course. Extrapolating that, what price would you put on development of better prosthetics for humans?

Club quick.

Blood poisoning slow.

At the end of the day it's only a cat, put it out of it's misery and get a new one like Tommy said, if it were something cool like a dancing bear then maybe prolong it's life!!

Given that the operation was some time ago, I think we can discount septicaemia as a given.

I'd save this cat. Just because its awesome

 

(Mozza, I couldn't find a picture of a dancing bear!!!)
