For some reason, this reminds me about the story of the now extinct Longhorses.

How the heck would poor grooming create wings? With bones?

By: Takuan

Takuan — Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000

oh no! these are boneless cat-wings (we all know where this is heading)

Absolutely possible. They are not wings however. The fur has become matted and rolled. Just look at it, no bones, just matted up fur. Problem is that there will probably be very nasty sores beneath those wads of clumped up mattings.

Well, that’s a wrap on humanity. See you all at the after party.

So when you click on the link, you get two more pictures. But when you compare the face pattern of the cat in the first picture with the other two, they’re different. So my question is how many winged cats are we looking at here? Or maybe…hmm…

POOR GROOMING? Man, those are all lame reasons.

But if it’s true – I’m not taking anymore showers until I can fly.

our cat, who looks similar to 1st pic, also had ‘wings’ in his 1st year, but only about 4-5″ long & not matted dread-locks. just longer hair at the rib, just behind the fore-leg. it was super cute, but when he started coughing up serious hair balls, we cut his ‘wings’. & of course, that hair is getting longer again.

#2 you’ve obviously never seen the state a cat’s fur can get in when it becomes “matted”

I have no faith in this report… has anyone been able to check the cat using proper scientific instruments such as x-rays and ultrasound?

DfZ to the rescue, with a link for winged cats. I found this site looking for information on polydactyl cats:

Jane? Is that your kitten? (Catwings joke!)

By: jeffbell

It reminds me of the excellent children’s book by Ursula K. Le Guin called Catwings.

In the book the kittens are urged to leave the city by their mother, so they fly to the countryside.

They biggest danger they face is from the owl who realizes the threat they pose to her hatchlings, so the cat must stick to daytime flying.

Well golly gosh gee! Them people are sitting on a GOLDMINE! Not only does the second cat in the article, the calico, have wings, it is also claimed to be MALE! That poor kitty is one genetic abomination, isn’t it?
*sarcasm*

(For those who don’t know: brown and orange kitty coat colors are tied to the X chromosome with only one color being able to occupy the X. So for calicoes, tortoiseshells,etc, there has to be two X chromosomes, one for each color. So any “male” callie kitty is not genetically male. Back in the day “male” calicoes were worth a pretty penny… until it was eventually figured out that they were all sterile hermaphrodites.)

Anyone consider the possibility that winged cats are descendants of Dragons? Cats cant spit fire, but they got the hair ball thing down pat!

All right, he is a cat with wings, so what ? Not the first, nor the last.

He is a male cat harassed, sexually, by *many* females: one male and a bunch of female that were into rough sex, now there’s a first!!!
