Someone should tell the birds to look out - now cats are growing wings.

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.

I'm sad to think this may be a genetic mutation due to chemical/environmental factors...

However, I wouldn't be a bit surprised if these mutant wings are the next step in the evolution ladder of cats...

I really do think he's adorable (the winged kitty) and would be a feather in any owners cap... lol no pun intended... and I use the word 'owner' loosely as we all know that no human actually owns a cat... wink
