Someone get the students at Conifer High School a Nobel Peace Prize — They are saving the world one kitty at a time.

Thanks to these kids, Flipper, a cat with a twisted spine, has a chance at leading a normal life of mouse-chasing and bedpost-scratching.

Flipper was born with a condition that doesn't allow her back end to walk on the same plane as her front. And while veterinarians at Aspen Park Vet Hospital in Conifer, Co., were ready to put her down, the Blitz Robotic Club stepped in with some true ingenuity.

(We'd also like to point out that the robotics club is probably the coolest afterschool activity in the world, and I'm totally jealous that my high school didn't have one.)

The students created a harness that allowed Flipper's hind legs to stay erect, giving the cat a chance to strut around the clinic as she pleases. The device will (hopefully) strengthen Flipper's legs enough that she can walk around on her own.

So, thanks, Conifer High School, you did the rest of us cat lovers (that means the entire Internet) proud.
