Dutch artist turns dead cat into remote-controlled helicopter, dubbed ‘Orvillecopter’

‘Half cat, half machine’ made into art project after pet was hit by car

Cats may get nine lives, but not quite like this.

A Dutch artist, upset over losing his beloved pet, Orville, had the animal stuffed and transformed its body into a remote-controlled helicopter, Sky News reported Monday.

The “half cat, half machine” piece of art was dubbed the “Orvillecopter.” The cat, who was killed when it was hit by a car, was named after famed American aviator Orville Wright.

“After a period of mourning, he received his propellers posthumously,” Jansen said.


A video posted to YouTube shows the flying feline slowly hover several feet in the air in a park, it's body permanantely spread eagle with propellors on its front paws.

Artist Bart Jansen teamed up with radio control helicopter expert Arjen Beltman after having a taxidermist preserve the pussy cat, Reuters reported.

The bizarre creation was then unveiled at the Kunstrai art festival in Amsterdam on Saturday.

The Orvillecopter doesn’t fly quite right, however, a glitch Jansen hopes to fix.

“He will receive more powerful engines and larger props for his birthday,” Jansen said, adding that he hoped the upgrades will allow for a more “steady flight.”

That's both disturbing and awesome. I'm leaning more towards disturbing, though.

I hate cats. I loathe the damn things— not as much as snakes, mind you, but I'd just as soon never have to deal with another cat.


They're always stalking songbirds. When they do actually catch something, they have a vile habit of playing with it rather than promptly dispatching it. Worst of all, their damn "kitty litter" just stinks to high heaven.

Now you sound like those people who complain about your unsightly use of coloured fonts.
