The Six Million Dollar…

Cat?

Like that's somethin' we need in the world.

"George Bailey has never taken a step in his life, but that could soon change because of a groundbreaking surgery by North Carolina State University veterinarians. The tuxedo cat was born a year and a half ago with only part of his hind legs. His owners said he made up in personality what he lacked in physical size…

"But the Simmonses wanted to make his life a little easier, so they called Dr. Denis Marcellin-Little at the N.C. State College of Veterinary Medicine to do something that had never been done before -- attach a prosthetic paw to the cat's actual leg bone. The surgery is so rare it's been performed on just 70 humans worldwide."

If it's that rare, why is it bein' wasted on a fe-lyin'? Talk about you humans havin' more money than brains…
