Where are you finding these fat cat pictures, Ti Ed?
I think instead of studying scoliosis on bipedalized mice with the requisite constant worry about the lab being attacked by PETA, these researchers should work with cats who are bipedal by choice.Sharon, mother of identical twin girls with scoliosis

Oh, just google fat cat. Some pics are classic! LOL
I started light, but I knew this was going to get serious.
We have a Charles River plant down the street..... They picket every once in a while...They breed mice and rats and they sell for approx $125 ea. Gestation. I believe is about 3 minutes, LOL
You cannot bitch, and go to the hospital. You just cannot. As much as I love animals, testing has to happen for advancement.
Monkeys would seem to be a choice testing subject for scoliosis. Most chimps and gorillas seem to have quite a kyphosis in their spines. I wonder if this has been done? Monkeys without tails.
I'm guessing that the tail is an extension of the spine. It dramatically changes balance and using cats for spine research wouldn’t make sense. I'm sure cats have been tested for massive amounts of cat food intake judging by some of the "heavies" that are out there.

The treatment of laboratory animals is taken VERY seriously by experimenters and caretakers. It's regulated at the federal level and penalties can be high for non-compliance. Doesn't matter if it is a mouse, rabbit, dog or chimp.
There is a ton of documentation required to do any animal experiment and the researcher must justify both the procedures and the number of animals required.

We've gotta keep a sense of humor! I had a bipedal cat once. He was huge and would chase me around the house, on his hind legs! My hubby is sleeping so I missed out on the music part of the videos.Be happy!
We don't know what tomorrow brings,
but we are alive today!
