An artist has turned his cat into a flying helicopter after it was killed by a car.

 

Dutchman Bart Jansen stuffed Orville before teaming up with a radio control helicopter expert to attach propellers to each of its four paws.

 

The cat - named after pioneering aviator Orville Wright - is now a piece of artwork. The "Orvillecopter" is on show at the Kunstrai art festival in Amsterdam.

 

Jansen said his creation is "half cat, half machine", and part of a visual art project to pay tribute to his pet.

 

"After a period of mourning he received his propellers posthumously," he said.

The Orvillecopter currently struggles to fly steadily, a problem Jansen has promised to fix.

"He will receive more powerful engines and larger props for his birthday. So this hopping will soon change into steady flight."

Neko will not be happy.

 

I think the worst part is that it's designed like one of those christmas gifts you play with for about two days before getting totally bored with it.

 

I'd arm that bad boy with some rockets and turn it into a useful drone over a war zone (or motorway). If it had those tools at his disposal earlier, he almost certainly would have survived any car-related incident.

 

I've got one 20lb cat who would make a great Tiger tank.
