Ready for take-off, Tiddles? Meet the cats which have sprouted wings
Edited on Fri Jul-10-09 01:01 PM by Akoto
While most cats are renowned for having nine lives, these moggies are clearly living on a wing and a prayer.

The cute little devils began sprouting bumps on their backs, which later turned into wing-like growths, during a recent spell of hot weather in China's Sichuan province.

One cat owner, known only as Feng, claims her cat's wings are a result of stress after he was 'harassed' by females looking to mate.

'At first, they were just two bumps, but they started to grow quickly, and after a month there were two wings,' she told Huashang News.

2. Just to balance your post with another quote from the article
And while she says her lovable Tom is no devil, his wings, which contain bones, make him look more like a 'cat angel'

Not sure what to make of the article, very odd.

3. Little birdie in the sky
Why you do that in my eye
I don't care, I don't cry
I'm just glad the cows don't fly

No idea where it is from but my mom used to recite it to us as kids :D Looks like it may become an actual problem :(
