A Chinese woman says her cat has wings. Granny Feng's tom cat has sprouted two hairy 4ins long wings, reports the Huashang News. "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.

I hate to say it, but somewhere I have a piece of fan art that has a cat with wings chasing a winged mouse. I'm a cat person - always thought it would be neat to have a flying fuzzface! I mean really flying, not just rocketing around the house in an excess of high spirits...

Oh dear god. My two bring in enough mice as it is.. if they had wings they'd empty every nest in the neighbourhood! :lol:

Oh, I know what my cat would do with wings - hover around the table and countertop for food, since he can no longer leap that high. Geek biologist that I am, I'm trying to figure which gene or genes would have mutated...
