Cat grows wings

August 28, 2012, Tuesday |

Print Edition

"WINGED" cats have been recorded since the 19th century, but only a handful of people have actually seen - let alone owned one. A woman in Sichuan Province said she watched as her kitty "grew" wings on his back last summer to escape a bunch of female cats trying to mate with him.

Experts say there are several scientific explanations, including leg deformities, huge mats of hair or a condition known as feline cutaneous asthenia, which causes the cat's skin to grow in heavy folds on its back or shoulders.
