According to his
master Granny Feng, it all began about one
month ago when the spring arouse the passion
of the female cats in the neighbourhood, who
somehow decided that Granny Feng’s pet
should be this year’s new Cat Idol. Pity there are no
regulations in any country that govern the
relationship between the pets, so the new
heartthrob has to bear the sexual harassment
from his female fans day and night.
It is unclear about
the exact contents of the flirtatious message
those cat-ladies sent to him through their
wild body language and rowdy screaming, but
what is clear is that they made a strong
impact on him physically, and possibly
spiritually: He began to grow wings.
That could be a
telling example of what love (and perceptions of
others, and expectations of oneself) can do
to people, and cats. Or, perhaps it tells
nothing – the cat just has two
strange-shaped tumours grown on his back.
This golden bachelor
cat is in fact not an only angel-wanna-be in
China. Last year Chinese media reported
another case in southern Guizhou
province
in which it was a female cat that grew wings.
And a year before, at Hanzhong in Shaanxi
province
a cat who refused all other diet but chicken
and milk reportedly developed a pair of wings
each over 200 mm in length and walked in a
way as if on the verge of taking off to fly.
But then another cat
in Henan
Province
would not mind what to eat and never pretends
to take off from the ground, but whenever she
gets upset or angry, her wings will erect to
make a visual statement of her heightened
emotions.
