When cats fly

Cats often dream of flying, if only to catch birds, now, in death, Orville the cat can live that dream.

Orville the cat was named after Orville Wright, so it’s fitting that the deceased feline is now a helicopter. Yep, the Orvillecopter is cleared for liftoff. The launch site? An art show, of course.

Bart Jansen, a dutch artist, as distraught when Orville was hit by a car, but he had a fun idea. He had the cat stuffed, then teamed up with an expert in remote-control helicopters to design and build the structure that would allow his beloved cat to soar as he never could in life.

For the record, we’re fine with flying cats, as long as we control them.
