May 23 2007Cat grows wings
This Chinese woman claims her cat has grown two 4 inch long wings.
"At first, they were just two bumps, but they started to grow quickly, and after a month there were two wings," she said. Feng, of Xianyang city, Shaanxi province, says the wings, which contain bones, make her pet look like a 'cat angel'. Her explanation is that the cat sprouted the wings after being sexually harassed. "A month ago, many female cats in heat came to harass him, and then the wings started to grow," she said. However, experts say the phenomenon is more likely down to a gene mutation, and say it shouldn't prevent the cat living a normal life.
So the cat is either an angel or a mutant. Either way it wins! Oh, wait, right. The mutant one...

It has wings?
Can it fly?
More importantly, how well does it absorb odour and wetness?

Doesn't look very aerodynamic does it?

I've actually seen something like that before. It might have even been in a cat. Anyway I think it's some sort of mutation that affects the growth of the shoulder blades. At least it was in the last case. It would be interesting to see an X-ray.

Aww. I think it's cute. In a weird, mutant, sexually harrassed kitten kind of way.

It should be noted that birds local to Xianyang city, Shaanxi province have started growing small but usable hands. This is so they can operate their ack ack anti airbourne cat artillery.
General Xi Gul has pledged to maintain bird air superiority with the full backing of the Chinese army.
BREAKING NEWS... America has over stepped the UN and given their support to the cats by providing them with MGM-140 ATACMS tactical ballistic missiles.

Actually it looks like clumps of fur that build up in the fur. Normally this occurs on long haired dogs if you don't brush them and cats clean them selfs better and prevent this but that cat looks far from clean and brushed. I would want to see xrays before I believe it.

Mutation. That's what it gets for sucking.

Anyone remember reading those kitch novels called "Catwings" and "Catwings Returns"?
18. yup - May 26, 2007 9:54 PM
I'm surprised she hasn't eaten that pussy yet.

You now what's more amazing then a winged cat? People who believe this crap. The bases of the wings, where we would be able to see them connected to the cat and probably tell if it was fake, are not shown in the photo. The lady also has to HOLD THE WINGS UP. I rest my case.
P.S.:That cat is in ur brains, eatin ur intelligences
