This is the strangest thing I've ever seen

Many animal lovers find it hard to part with their pets when they die.

So when cat Orville, named after the famous aviator Orville Wright, was run over by a car, his artist owner decided to turn him into a permanent piece of artwork as the ultimate tribute by transforming him into a flying helicopter.

Dutch artist Bart Jansen first stuffed Orville before teaming up with radio control helicopter flyer Arjen Beltman to build a specially-designed flying mechanism to attach to the cat.

 

No. Just..no.

puts new meaning in the old expression, "...the fur will fly..." :LMAO:

That is just Wrong!!!

Wonder if he needs a cat-apult to get it off the ground?

Oh man... the jokes are just as bad as the original post :LMAO:

 

This is as morbid as it gets me thinks.... :Big Grin:

Those high speed electric motors are purrfect for this. :Big Grin:

If he'd been a RC boat guy, he could have made his late pet into a catamaran..

:Cry: ...groan...lol

Unless there's an accompanying video I call photoshop on that one...

Not terribly impressive.

It is impressive actually.. That was just the first flight.

"It is impressive actually.. That was just the first flight."

 

Agreed. Much better control in that last video, maybe more power available too.

Sick.

I personally think that poor Orville may have been struck by a vehicle as he was fleeing his owner and this other guy, who were going to convert him into a flying feline while he was still alive. At least they were not model rocket fans - you know where they would have put the propulsion unit! Next project; Rocky the Flying Squirrel.

 

I have a soft spot for animals of most kinds and the chance at some slightly twisted humor aside, I just can't get past the bewildered look on Orville's face in the original picture.

 

Goggles and a helmet, . . . . . . please! If the animal rights people see Orville it could be Catastrophic.
