    Flying Cats...

    article-2154283-136ED7F3000005DC-412_634x412.jpg




    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.



    Jansen said the Orvillecopter is
    'half cat, half machine', and part of a visual art project to pay tribute to his cat Orville.


    Jansen, part of the art
    cooperative Generaal Pardon, said: 'After a period of mourning he received his propellers posthumously.'


    He added that Orville will soon be 'flying with the birds' stating: 'Oh how he loved birds. He will receive more powerful engines and larger props for his birthday. So this hopping will soon change into steady flight.'

    I love my cats but I definitely don't think I'll be turning them into RC aircraft after they're dead.

    I can just see how much fun that would be to watch Ocat and the dog.
