Flying Feline Helicopters

The Orvillecopter is a Disturbing Creation That Uses a Dead Cat to Soar

While some might consider the act of taxidermy bizarre, the Orvillecopter will put people in awe.

It's a flying quadrocopter that uses a dead cat to fly. Yes, Mr. Kitty cat doesn't purr any longer but instead zooms through the air. Its name is Orville and he's been converted into a flying machine that is either astonishing for cat enthusiasts or an act of debauchery.

Unfortunately, Orville was killed when a car ran him over and to preserve his memories in a "sick" project, his owners turned him into a mini helicopter. Bart Jansen stuffed Orville before he was equipped with flying mechanisms that sent him shooting through the air. Pigs have not been able to fly, yet, but the Orvillecopter proves that kitty cats can.
