If they can make titanium attachment points for prosthetic feet for a cat. Where the skin is sealed tighter then a dolphins butt around the metal.Then why are human prosthesis still attached by cups and straps?

I have a friend with a hearing implant that has titanium screws through his skin and sealed skin.

Legs and especially arms should be attached to the skeleton. This would remedy so many problems that current prosthesis give their users.

I guess it makes it easier to replace the prosthetic limb.

Perhaps they or their partners don't like fucking with metal limbs.

Titanium feet for a cat...

The procedure for setting titanium hard points is dangerous and painful. It can result in further amputation.

The hard points do fix most of the problems that cup or strap attachments have. But the are expensive.

they can fix you, your insurance just doesn't want you to know

also is a little risky

Me mum had vertebralis fused
They also have artificial vertebrais they can install

Just keep taking your pain sauce, score a doctors note to smoke pot every day
