Two cats have been given a new lease of life in what is thought to be a surgery first for Europe aside from Britain.

Black-and-white Pooh was given two new paws, after losing his legs after an accident at just one year old.

He can now walk and play normally, thanks to a veterinary surgeon giving him two artificial legs.

The leg implants are custom-made and "peg" the ankle to the foot much like the way deer antler bone grows through skin.
