Cat helicopter: Watch dead cat turned into helicopter known as Orvillecopter by Dutch artist
Eight out of ten cats would probably prefer a less strenuous afterlife The separation from a beloved furry friend who dies can be too much for some pet lovers. Some owners may opt to have their much-missed animal buddy stuffed and mounted to maintain that companionship so familiar around the home, rather than the more conventional approach of having their cherished chum cremated or burying them in the back garden. But it seems unlikely that many would choose the approach taken by one Dutchman – and transform their passed away pet into a hybrid helicopter cyborg. That was the unusual ultimate fate of cat Orville, named after aviator Orville Wright, after he was run over by a car. Reuters Artist Bart Jansen decided to pay tribute to his pussy pal by turning him into a piece of artwork, a moggy chopper. Orville was stuffed before Jansen turned to radio control helicopter flyer Arjen Beltman, who constructed a specially-designed flying mechanism to attach to the cat.
