The Cat With The Bionic Eye

- Frisky 4-year-old Ginger Snap doesn't know it, but she could become the cat with the bionic eye.

This makes them ideal subjects to test a silicon microchip that holds promise for restoring at least partial sight to people who are robbed of vision by retinal diseases.
