Baby, the Bionic Cat

Baby is six years old and has metal plates in her legs, thanks to falling 20' from a balcony -- not once, but twice!

Administrators at the Blue Cross veterinary hospital in Victoria (England) inserted metal plates and screws into the short-haired domestic cat's back legs after she fell from her owner's window in September. When they X-rayed her, they were shocked to discover similar implants in her front legs from when she was a kitten!

The staff then dubbed her "Bionic Cat."

Baby is said to have an affectation for sunglasses even in the dark, imbibing in designer drugs, and a penchant for very loud and very heavy music.

Baby the Bionic Cat is not owned by William Gibson.
