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.
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.
