The CAT is thought to be the only animal that domesticated itself, having done so 3,600 years ago when attracted by the large amounts of vermin in human settlements. These African cats have since accompanied man around the world.

Unfortunately, this has led to the extinction of several species not evolutionarily equipped to deal with cat predation.

Kittens. Grumpy Cat Is Not Impressed by TIME. Grumpy Cat visited TIME, and it was awful.

Actually, that’s far from true — though the adorable mixed-breed cat was enduring an exhaustive daylong romp through the New York City media circuit, it seems as though she rather enjoyed herself.

Pioneering surgery puts cat back on his feet

His new kitten heels were designed with custom-made implants, which "peg" the ankle to the foot and mimic the way deer antler bone grows through skin. Oscar's transformation, which has left him resembling a feline Ahab, has been described as a case of science copying the natural world.

The young cat's road to recovery began after his local vet from St Saviour in Jersey referred owners Kate and Mike Nolan to Dr Noel Fitzpatrick, a Surrey-based neuro-orthopaedic surgeon. "We had to do a lot of soul-searching and our main concern has always been whether this operation would be in Oscar's best interests and would give him a better quality of life," said Mrs Nolan.
