An ethinic Uzbek girl reacts as Kyrgyz policemen rest after conducting house-to-house searches in Osh, southern Kyrgyzstan, Tuesday, June 22, 2010. Human Rights Watch accuse Kyrgyz government forces of beating several dozen men and women and detaining 12 in the operation. Tuesday's operation came a day after Kyrgyz troops and police swept into an ethnic Uzbek village on Osh's outskirts, leaving at least 2 people dead and more than 20 wounded. The brutal raids have reinforced the Uzbeks' claims that authorities are colluding in the ethnic violence. The violence also is likely to discourage hundreds of thousands of displaced people who have fled Kyrgyzstan's violence from returning home.(AP Photo/Sergey Ponomarev)

Oscar, the cat has a pair of prosthetic rear feet, courtesy of neuro-orthopaedic surgeon Noel Fitzpatrick at Fitzpatrick Referrals in Surrey, England.
