Flying cat

I read a story about this and it goes like this-
The Cat got run over by a car and the owner skinned it and mounted it to his helicopter unit and made a video that went viral.
Animal lovers are freaking out.
You would think it would start to stink .

Ohhhhh Helllllllllllllllllllllllll No!

that is just wrong....

These dudes have got to be twisted...

(I mean I can see an ex wife, a mother in law, that damn nosy neighbor (J/K!!!) )

I think if you soak the skins in Borax soap etc it kind of tans and preserves them, at least it worked on the nosy neighbor

I just heard the interview on CBC radio yesterday with the Dutch artist that has the cat...I wish I had thought of that when my cat died, and he was 6 kilos... The Dutch cat was named Orville, after the Wright brothers and the brother to that cat is named Wilbur...Orville liked to leap at birds in an attempt to catch them...so after the death and mourning, the owner thought about putting the cat's hide around the helicopter...

I guess if you're not a cat person it's cute. Sorry, Personally I think it's on the tasteless side.

I'm into both cats and dogs and think it would be weird to stuff one and make it into a toy. Back to that "part of the family" idea.

I am a cat person (Felix is in my lap now) and I would never do anything like that but is does not bother me that someone did.
