Weird but still cute cats

Someone should tell the birds to look out – now cats are growing wings. At least, this cat in the Chinese city of Chongqing in China appears to be. Animal experts have been left baffled by the fluffy white moggy, who was born normal – but began growing wing-shaped appendages on either side of his spine when he was just a year old. Some experts believe the bony ‘wings’ are in fact a freak mutation – a Siamese twin growing inside the kitty. Others think the mutation may be genetic, caused by chemicals during his mother’s pregnancy. Whatever the answer is, the cat does not seem to mind – with his owners even claiming he enjoys all the attention.
While most cats are renowned for having nine lives, these moggies are clearly living on a wing and a prayer. The cute little devils began sprouting bumps on their backs, which later turned into wing-like growths, during a recent spell of hot weather in China’s Sichuan province. One cat owner, known only as Feng, claims her cat’s wings are a result of stress after he was ‘harassed’ by females looking to mate. ‘At first, they were just two bumps, but they started to grow quickly, and after a month there were two wings,’ she told Huashang News. ‘Many female cats in heat came to harass him, and then the wings started to grow.’ And while she says her lovable Tom is no devil, his wings, which contain bones, make him look more like a ‘cat angel’. But genetic experts claim there is nothing angelic or magical about the condition, which doesn’t hinder the cat’s quality of life. They say the wings can form through poor grooming, a genetic defect or a hereditary skin condition.
The household pet, named Yoda, was born with an extra set of ears. ‘The vet had never seen anything like it before,’ explains Valerie – his owner. ‘He immediately went to the internet and found the four-eared cat in Germany. ‘We have spoken with other vets in our acquaintance, and they likewise had never encountered anything like this. ‘We began to realise that we had something very special. ‘As a result, he has been an indoor cat and has a chip installed in case he gets lost. Yoda is so different that we were concerned that he might be catnapped.’ Yoda’s extra ‘flaps’ are separate to the base of his skull, with one placed slightly behind the other. Yet despite his unusual looks, Valerie is sure Yoda’s behaviour – and hearing – are quite normal. ‘Yoda’s hearing is normal as far as we know,’ says Valerie. ‘People do a double take when they see him or his picture. It is great fun showing him off.
