In a pioneering operation a cat called Oscar has been given some new paws. Oscar was involved in an accident which meant his back paws were amputated. In the first operation of its kind to be carried out on a cat he has been fitted with new prosthetic ones. They are attached to his ankle in both his back paws allowing him to walk naturally. However, the new limbs are not suitable for outdoor use so Oscar whilst still alive will now have to be a house cat.
