Cat grows wings after being sexually harassed.

A Chinese woman claims her cat has grown 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.

This is a condition called ‘feline cutaneous asthenia’ (FCA) where cats grow skin-flaps out their backs. It’s pretty rare and some cases have had reports of the cats being able to move the ‘wings’ (up in the air, not flap them and fly or anything) which would suggest they’ve actually got muscles in them. I remember this was in the Guiness Book of World Records 1998. For what record I’m not sure. I thought it was awesome then. I think it’s awesome now.

Here’s the Wikipedia entry.

Michael will have a surprise then in the sequel when he faces the bull again…

A friend of mine had an orange tabby tomcat named Orville, who she had neutered.  A while later, a female cat started trying to seduce Orville, running up to him and acting all affectionate whenever he went inside and calling longingly through the windows whenever he was indoors.  She was determined to get her chosen man, I suppose.  Poor Orville always looked so confused and distressed whenever that happened.  He never grew wings, though.

He finally spent about a week hiding under a bed, until the female eventually went away.

Its a cat defense mechanism, F@#K or Flight…

I always thought it was the guys that chased the gals.  If I had a bunch of women fawning over me I’m not sure I would call it “being sexually harrassed”  Mind you since I have never experienced the situation I’m not totally sure how I would react.

I wouldn’t call it sexual harassment. I’d call it a damn good time.

Of course, that depends on precisely WHICH girls are fawning over you. You might get stuck with a bunch of incredibly ugly, raving lunatics or scabby junkies or something

I love those raving lunatics! For some reason, most of those I have met at the closed ward have been very pretty.
Cute but psycho… 

Now what does this have to do with cats, you may ask. Please do!

90% of the time yes. And the ones who don’t fall within those catagories are either morons or so badly self tanned that they look leatherier than my jacket
