Nah, we have it much better in the USA.

They gave my cat V/STOL for the same cost.

It wouldn’t be my choice to spend my money on this... but some will, same as I have a neighbor who spent about 150 bucks on a stroller for her dog. As long as I’m not involved, I don’t care. I might make fun of the person, but to each his own.

I cannot help but wonder how many kids could have been fed

I can't help but wonder how many kids will eventually benefit from this break thru technology........

I guess the glass is half empty for you, eh?

first of all, who spent what on this cat? Ya think that maybe, just maybe this vet took it on his own to perform the procedure?

So what do you treat in your veterinary practice?

U.K. socialized medicine aside...

If you read the story, you’ll find that this is part of ongoing research into new methods of implanting prostheses.

Humans will benefit from Oscar the cat.

I agree.

also it would be important to remove this cat from the gene pool since it is too stupid to move when the harvester shows up.

Your statement is as dumb as any liberal could have come up with. Other people’s money belongs to them and they can spend it as they wish. You are severely divorced from reality if you truly believe the BS you just wrote.

Better yet, we could feed our cats for centuries on the flesh of our vanquished enemies, if only we had the will.

Not sure the cats wouldn’t turn up their noses at ‘em though.

I really thought he could take that combine.

Those sensations to the missing parts are going to drive this cat a little bonkers from time to time.

No problem, I am always ready to point out stupidity whenever I find it. Any time you write something as liberal and stupid as you did here, you can count on me to point it out. Have a nice day.
