Heart-warming fluff for all you cat-loving internets out there:

His feet were designed at my Uni! Actually not that much to shout about as they look like old wine-bottle corks, but still...


Also, am I a bad person for chuckling whilst watching him hobble around on those things? I think I probably am.

I almost always agree with Albatross, I can't see why anyone wouldn't.

Okay, so the male version of "Cougar" is now officially "Albatross".

That's the coolest thing I've ever seen! He adapted to them right away! Now, they just have to see how other cats respond to him. They'll probably be jealous.

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

My ex-cat, Stone Cold Chuck Awesome, could've done with some bionic lungs to stop him from having choked and died on the kitchen floor. Whatever, he is in the 4th dimension now.

Awesome link. Bionic kitties for all!

My blind in one eye kitty Odin says for your Uni to get cracking on his cyber eye.



Me and the girlfriend really don't know what is wrong with his eye. We have had a vet look at it but he has no clue either. All he can tell is that he is blind in it and that it does not cause him discomfort... aside from the discomfort (and sometimes hilarity) of running into things on his right side if he turns that way. Best guess we have is that he injured it while being stuck in some kind of trap that the animal control people found him in before taking him to the shelter we adopted him from. We pretty much decided to adopt him immediately after seeing him thinking no one else would because of his eye. We got a real winner out of him. Now... if only he had gotten some wisdom for that eye like his namesake...

I play...

And here I expected to find something about the all purpose cultural cat girl nuku nuku. Awesome little invention to get a cat moving about though.

The greater good needs some moo.

Who needs cyber-eyes when you can just augment your brain to interpret sound as sight.




Watch the whole thing if you are interested, it is worth the watch. Why augment sight, when you can augment your mind?

If you just want bionic eyes though... can't find the clip. DAMMIT.

There are cyber-eyes in development.

Woah... That kid from the clip died? That is freaking depressing.
