Aug 28 2008Another Day, Another Winged Cat

Another day, another cat sprouts wings.

A tabby from the Qingyan province in China recently sprouted a pair of fur-covered wings on his back during a hot-weather spell, the U.K.'s Daily Mail reported.


One cat owner, identified only as Feng, claimed her pet's wings were the result of stress from too many females desiring to mate with him, the Mail reported.

Fuck, now I'll never grow wings.

Hit the jump for a picture of Feng's winged cat (a different one) from a while ago, and a link to its story.

First POKEMON!!!

that is awesome. want that cat. want my wings. dammit.

Ok I know GOD kill kittens when i Masterbate ...
So whats the deal with this...?

Why get the news involved, the furry little guy is just going to be made into an egg roll anyway.

lord knows how many body parts ive sprouted due to stress. like a dong. and im a woman.

I reckon it's the same story being rehashed with a different pic. Especially since this pic looks like someone's holding out the cat's tail and right rear leg.

Also, since this cat is supposedly male, it's doubly rare for being a male calico.

new franchise for china, not buffalo wild wings, but

Calico Wild Wings! new spicy bbq kitty wing flavor!

hate to be the nay-sayer today,
but seriously, this looks all kinds of shady.

My cat is a decentdant from Hell. She grew horns and shits rancid coal.
She is going to China to eat this one.

Umm...I think those are two different cats. They have different markings.

That's insane; I want one!

oh, also, " i believe i can fly i believe i can touch the sky"....best tag ever

The cat in the top pic is a calico, not a tabby. Also, calicos are almost always female (the black color is on one x chromosone, and the orange is on another, so a male calico would have to be XXY)

I call shenanigans.

sorry but this looks a little FAKE! to me, my cat has clumps of hair that could pass for legs if i wanted, i wanna see X rays..

Looks like the "wings" are growing out of the cats ass to me.

Loose skin is all.

*yawn* wake me up when pigs start growing wings..

ITS NOT A TOOMAH!!!!!!!!!

Tis my opinion they be nestin'.

@Poste3 aka spencer

Not funny shut the hell up =)

Alex, that's not nice...

Also OLD. This is so OLD!! OMG could this be any OLDer?!? It's like this post is synonymous with OLD. Like instead of saying "that lady over there is so OLD", I could just say... wait, what's this post about again? *scrolls up* A cat with fucking WINGS?!? HOLY SHIT!! That's fucking amazing! Does it FLY?!?

I may be violating some kind of unwritten thread law by commenting on someone so far up the list, but here goes.

#3 God may kill kittens when you masturbate... but he only horribly genetically mutates them when you don't do it right.

Too much?

Too much.

/sorry.

Soooo...what's with all the cats in Asia sprouting gnarly fur-matted wings? IS it something in the smoggy air? A physiological response to the intense desire not to become stir fry? We may never know....

memo to china: give your cat a fcuking bath already!

I could do this to my cats, all you need is some glue and a buzzer. Glue cats hair together in a line near the skin, buzz up and voila! kitty angel, or you could just not and pretend you did, so when the ASPCA comes knocking on your door with abuse accusations you can deny everything/ show off your photoshop skills to the 3 people who care on the interwebs.....

A winged cat? Sure! Another 'first' from the land where gymnasts too young to compete in the Olympics age three years during the opening ceremonies. (Why, one day they're 13, and the next day, they're 16. They grow up so fast!)

But who wouldn't believe the cat story -- besides anyone with a brain? People do use Photoshop in China. But these pics don't look even that sophisticated. In the second one, the 'wings' are obviously pieces of something -- another cat, perhaps? (I don't even want to go there) -- being held in place for the photo op. Funny how these oddity pics are always from only one angle -- never any additional side or top views that might disprove deception. This is worse than that bogus 'bigfoot' story.

China is where all these 'missing-link' fossils are found -- that later turn out to have been assembled from the bones of at least three different animals.

Next week, there should be a fossil winged cat for the gullible to gawk at. Or perhaps x-rays -- Photoshop works on any digital image.

Or -- just maybe -- it's true: Cats and birds have a common ancestor. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you... the catbird! The 'stress' it experiences must be from chasing itself all the time.

PLEASE!!!!

By the way, a better explanation than 'stress' would be those cats ate some of that plastic-laced pet food that China tried to unload on the U.S. a while back.

Drinking Red Bull results in that

Morris.... still havent gotten over at loosing the olympics then?

Nice one Sam...

Poor Morris, still crying about getting beat by a 13 year old girl.

My thoughts exactly!

omg i want a kitty that can fly!!!!!

the first one's "wings" have got to be it's tail and right rear leg...

They could be six-legged cats. They featured some animals with six legs on Ripley's a while ago.
