Flying cat

[scottish]

An artist has turned his cat into a flying helicopter after it was killed by a car.

Dutchman Bart Jansen stuffed Orville before teaming up with a radio control helicopter expert to attach propellers to each of its four paws.
The cat - named after pioneering aviator Orville Wright - is now a piece of artwork. The "Orvillecopter" is on show at the Kunstrai art festival in Amsterdam.

Jansen said his creation is "half cat, half machine", and part of a visual art project to pay tribute to his pet.
"After a period of mourning he received his propellers posthumously," he said.
The Orvillecopter currently struggles to fly steadily, a problem Jansen has promised to fix.
"He will receive more powerful engines and larger props for his birthday. So this hopping will soon change into steady flight."

[Jurv]

that is horrible. why would you make your dead cat into a helicopter? ******* weirdo.

[Kyle]

when i saw the image i thought it was alive but then i read it and dont really know whether it being dead makes it any better or worse... there r some right psychos out there

[brandon]

That's disgusting. At least he didn't kill it for that purpose, I guess.

[MKR&*42]

Saw thisbthe other day, it's absolutely horrific what some pwople do to their dead pets. This is far too extreme tbqh.

[Samantha.]

Omg, this is horrible! You cannot do that to a cat, even if it is dead!

[Chris]

Why the hell would anyone want to make their dead cat into a helicopter?! Just plain weird.

[mrwoooooooo]

That photo has made a great timeline cover photo :D

[lawrawrrr]

It's hilarious in theory, but actually in practice is horrible - who could do that to a cat???

[Succubus]

Ugh, that's disgusting. Even though he didn't kill it why would you want to have a flying cat around your house..

[Tom]

That's disgusting... "half cat, half machine" - more like a dead cat which you have stuck things on to make fly.

[Knewitall]

That is just wierd. Why...?

[Paige.]

That's disgusting. Nice way of showing respect to your dead pet.... :l

[kuzkasate]

LOL, oh common it's a cat... better than letting it rot in the ground. That way he can keep it forever!

I find it strangely interesting - very 'Dutch' :P Loads of people have their pets or wild animals stuffed, this has just gone a step further and if anything it's better than the trophy stuffed animals which are left to rot - this has been turned into an interesting piece of engineering.

That said, thinking of the details of it all - playing with the standard form of the cat and stretching it about to transform it into a flying machine is a bit off putting.

This. I don't think I'd like to do it... but it's pretty cool. Gives a new lease of life to any dead pet ;)

[dirrty]

[Kasabian]

How? it's dead...

[Lee]

Horrible thing to do imo :(

[Amberr]

That is just wrong. how could someone do that to what was another living thing. I suppose it could be worse and they could of killed it for that purpose but its still horrific.

[twinart]

How? it's dead...
Dead in a hurtful way.

[Kasabian]

Dead in a hurtful way.

I don't get you?
The cat died, it wasn't killed purposely for this..

[twinart]

I don't get you?
The cat died, it wasn't killed purposely for this..
I didn't even mean that?

I think he means hurtful in the "the comment you just said was hurtful" sense of the word. It could be offensive to others and to watch, but not hurtful for the cat - unless it's a zombie.
