A Cat with Wings!

Cat in China grows a pair of wings

It's a bird, it's a plane, it's a … cat?

A kitty in Chongqing, China, is getting some extra-special attention these days: The furry feline has developed wings! Though born looking completely normal, once the cat hit the age of 1, he began growing wing-shaped appendages on either side of his spine, the U.K.'s Daily Mail reports.

While some think the bony limbs may be a mutation of some kind — or even a Siamese twin growing inside the cat — others speculate it's a genetic change perhaps caused by chemicals ingested by the kitty's mother while she was pregnant.

Ironically, the Chicago Sun-Times newspaper featured a devil kitty, a gray male who has double pinnas (ear flaps) which vaguely resemble devil's horns. :P

Sorry to say I couldn't find a link for it.

Back in August 2008, the U.K. Telegraph reported that tomcats in China's Sichuan province developed wing-like growths on their backs.

So it's almost common in China for winged cats....neat...I want one!

[Cipher]

Guys, winged cats does not make China cute. It makes China terrifying and disgusting. Which it is.

[Buslady]

it is a dirty disgusting place. these wings aren't wings at all, they're horrible abnormal growths.

[Ninjinister]

You just made that kitty sad :(

[Archon_Turtle]

They get cats that can fly...when all we get is the swine flu...


eh?! EH?!

[Ra]

I call hacks!

I found red bull and a lot of it. And a bag with the name felix on it. ;)

Horrible abnormal growths? You practically masturbate to mutated anthropic turtles.

[The Stryker]

Beautiful.

[Archon_Turtle]

Classy!

Myself, I actually masturbate to mutated anthropic turtles. It's a lifestyle choice. Screw you for judging me!

[The Stryker]

Stupid Computer, Be funny!

Male or female?

[Cure]

When did everyone start trying and failing so hard to be funny?

[Sewer Bull]

Don't judge him so hard, at least he didn't say he has sex with girls IRL.

... yet.

[Storm Wolf]

That's alarming...I mean only in china....There has to be something wrong with the environment.

I thought six toed cats were a sign of doom here in the U.S. But holy crap...when your cats grow wings, it's time to stop feeding them lead tainted cat food.

I really don't see how the vet can say this doesn't affect the cat at all. It cannot be healthy to grow "wings" when you aren't ment to have them.

Fascinating....but alarming.

[Hannah]

I'm sure the vet knows more about this than you do.

[Peanut]

When did everyone start trying and failing so hard to be funny?

Seriously. That trend has reached a disturbing high.

[Jester]

Seriously. That trend has reached a disturbing high.
You're welcome. :D

[Buslady]

No you confuse me with NWG....

a vet in china, a country that treats animals relatively crappy comparing to us, is a joke.

[Peanut]

You're welcome. :D

You haven't even been at fault.

[Cipher]

You haven't even been at fault.I hope the trend didn't coincide with when I started posting in General about half a week ago.

Not such a sign of doom:

I even saw one for adoption at a PetSmart store. She was a tuxedo camed named Ariel, was quite friendly, had no difficulty walking, and was eventually adopted.

[BubblyShell22]

It sounds interesting, but it does seem weird for a cat to grow wings. If the mother was eating chemicals while pregnant, that's not a good sign.

[Buslady]

polydactylisms happens everywhere, it's genetic. i had a poly kitty, he was a way cool cat. sweet personality.

these "wings" seem to happen only there and is chemical influenced. it's just sad for them to think it's no big deal. I'd have them removed immediatly.

[BubblyShell22]

Oh, I see. Yes, I agree that the wings should be removed.

[Ryona]

You can't just clip a cat's wings off. They need those to get to heaven.

[XERO]

Do cats substitute their 9 lives for wings?

[Storm Wolf]

I'm sure the vet knows more about this than you do.

Yeah....and I suppose you know the vet personally and know that for a fact as well.

a vet in china, a country that treats animals relatively crappy comparing to us, is a joke.

I have to agree with that. I can't see how a country who, in general, doesn't care about animals should have many if any good vets. ( I don't mean all of the populace.... I'm sure there are some in the country that care for animals.)

I even saw one for adoption at a PetSmart store. She was a tuxedo camed named Ariel, was quite friendly, had no difficulty walking, and was eventually adopted.

I actually meant that as a joke more than anything. Cats with extra toes live just as long an healthy lives as any other cat.

[Ra]

Hm... an odd thought... is the cat neutered? Is it genetic? Can we have a whole army of flying cats by the end of the century if this guy still has his manhood?

I think I need more sleep...

[XERO]

'Welcome to Pizza Hut, can I take your order?'

'Yeah, just a large pepperoni and an order of cat wings.'

'Spicy or mild?'

'Spicy, please.'

'Genetic or chemical?'

'Does the chemical come with extra packets of cheese?'

'Yes it does.'

'BRING IT ON!!!!'

[Buslady]

LOL you are so bad LOL!!

[BubblyShell22]

ROFTL. Nice one, Ben.
