Cyrano, a ten-year-old tabby, will be the first cat to receive total knee replacement surgery

Cyrano, a ten-year-old tabby, will be the first cat to receive total knee replacement surgery. The surgery is planned for January 26 at North Carolina State University's College of Veterinary Science in Raleigh. Cyrano was treated for bone cancer last year and is now in total remission. The disease and treatment weakened the bone in his affected back leg and his knee deteriorated as a result. Owner, Sandy Lerner, wanted another option besides amputation.
