As this X-ray shows, the six-year-old cat, named Baby, needed extensive surgery on her injuries at the Blue Cross animal hospital in Victoria, London. But now, staff have give her the all-clear.
Baby was taken to the hospital in September after falling from a third floor window for the second time at her owner's home in south London.
Staff found she had suffered multiple fractures in both back legs before discovering from an X-ray that she already had metal implants in both front legs, which had been inserted after a similar plunge when she was a kitten.
"Baby is extremely lucky to be alive," said Jess Gower, Blue Cross chief veterinary surgeon at the hospital, who carried out the latest operations.
"We think she fell from the third floor of a building. Contrary to popular belief, cats don't always land on their feet - Baby landed on her back. We were stunned to find it was the second time she had done it. Now she has metal implants in all four legs, staff decided to call her the 'bionic cat'."
