Exclamation 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.

If bats are just mice with wings, then what's a cat with wings?

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.

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!

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