A cat named George Bailey was born with only stumps for hind legs. He got around by dragging his rear end. Veterinarians and engineers from North Carolina State University tackled the problem in a new way. Instead of attaching a limb over a stump, they attached an artificial limb to his bones. The hope was that the existing bone tissue would grow around the prosthetic, a process called osseointegration. Using a cat scan of the cat, they created a model of George’s pelvis and leg bones and designed a lower leg and foot. In 2005, the team implanted a titanium post into George’s stump, to which the prosthetic leg could be attached. George was soon running and jumping on his new leg. Animals that normally walk on four legs usually get along just fine with three. George took great advantage of his new mobility, and was so rambunctious that in two months, he broke the titanium nails that were holding his leg in place. The prosthetic limb had to be removed.
Using a cat scan of the cat
Attach a bouyancy balloon to the area where the leg once was.
Relocate the cat to a planet where the gravitational coefficient is lower.
Test that the cat is really disabled by revealing food by surprise and testing its speed compared to a normal cat. If the cat travels at a similar speed notify the council because it is obviously claiming benefits it is not entitled to.
Transplant a leg from another cat or similar animal.
Remove the remaining three legs and augment the cat with piezoelectric nanofibres to generate power stored in a lithium ion battery around the collar. Attach electrodes to the cat's head to analyse brain waves and synchronise detection with a pair of 12 V wheelchair motors mounted on the cat's underside.
Throw it into the street as a large car is passing and claim on their insurance to buy a new, better cat with 4 legs.
Attach an artificial leg that monitors nerve traffic around the top of the leg, powered by C02 released by solenoids, watch your cat defy those blue tits and sparrows as they are ousted from the trees in your garden.
Become your cat's best friend. Go wherever it goes and learn to communicate. If your cat needs a hand getting up the stairs, pick the little fella up and give him a lift to the top.
i am so happy :)QuoteUsing a cat scan of the catteehee
it probably walks more easily when you press on the missing leg area because it's still shifting it's weight aroudn the way it's used to. are you sure it's not leaning on your hand when you press it there instead of leaning on what would be a leg?
wow these people really don't know the first fuck about physics. really, it's simple logic. study the world around you! read a book or chuck it across the room, either way you're doing physics. physics is the foundation of all sciences. physics can solve all problems. (if it can't be solved by physics, chances are it's not a real problem!).

as you can see in these diagrams, a cat uses angular momentum to rotate through space. a cat instinctively understands how to alter its distribution of weight, so that it can (ONLY in terms of its inertial frame of reference!) fly. For the purposes of this experiment only, let it be assumed that Iexp, 1*a is equal to the torque of the cat's tail m2,tail on the cat's center of mass M = (m1+m2).
I can't correctly calculate the cat's C of M without more data, but if I'd have to make an educated guess, I would first have to split the cat into two axes: the side axis (looking at the side of the cat) and the top axis (looking at the cat from above or below). on the side axis, the C of M should be located slightly above the middle of the whole cat sans tail. this, of course, depends on the proportion of the cat's legs to its body - but if it really is a "standard cat" as you claim, my suggested C of Mside should be fairly accurate. on the top plane, the C of M should be located near the middle again, around the cat's navel.
interesting, I had thought of the shell method as well. unfortunately I am one step ahead of you again old chum!let's take another look at figure 1, shall we? study the image closely, for if you are too brief you may miss what is actually accuring:wow these people really don't know the first fuck about physics. really, it's simple logic. study the world around you! read a book or chuck it across the room, either way you're doing physics. physics is the foundation of all sciences. physics can solve all problems.

are you fuckinjg retarded? go back to college.
in order to approximate the cm you have to think the cat as a thin spherical shell:

now according to gauss, inside the cat the gravitational field is proportional to the radial distance from the center of mass to the particle. like this:
(https://legacy.gamingw.net/etc/upload.wikimedia.org/math/5/c/e/5cea48c60acee244ee9bbce1bb37777f.png)
so a mouse inside the tummy of a cat just when it goes to the CM is going to experience a gravitational field of zero.
you fucking idiot

this is fairly appropriate right now
enough weight to counter balance a third of it's body is like three $2 coins. and yeah it's leaning against my hand, i don't see your differentiation, though iirc her stub moves
also the picture of the cat turning helped since objects rotate around their centre of mass right?This works perfectly for planets so cats shouldn't be that different. If you put a weight on you cat, it will probably land on the side and break its
if it's helped by leaning on your hand, putting a weight no it would only make it worse... it needs to lean on something, not be pulled further down... :fogetmmh:
an artificial leg would be the dumbest idea

If modern medicine can remove a peach from Steel's head no problem can't it move a cat's organs a few cents? Or just remove unnecessary duplicates from the other side. Like, he could do just as well with one kidney and the stomach a bit to the left, right?

this is a stupid idea on so many levels, the first obstacle would be cost. no vet would do this.remember to paste the shaved hair onto other parts of the cat to fix the center of gravity.
but i did take into consideration what you said and i've shaved a third of the cat. it seems to be getting along easier now but it's prickly. i'm surprised i didn't think of this earlier as it's pretty fluffy

WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU? HOW IS THE FIRST OBSTACLE COMPLICATIONS DURING THE OPERATION? ANAESTHETICS ARE ACTUALLY QUITE ADVANCED NOWADAYS AND ARE UNLIKELY TO BE A PRIMARY CONCERN IN THE HYPOTHETICAL
Needless to say you'll need to knock out the cat
The first obstacle would actually be the cat dieing shortly or a "long" time after drugging it up to keep it alive for as long as possible.Do you have a cat, Boulvae?
