Orville the Flying Cat via Sky News
After Bart Jansen's cat Orville was killed by a car, the artist had the animal taxidermied and then, "after a period of mourning," converted the stuffed kitty into a radio-controlled quadcopter. The video is below.
It's not clear whether or not Orville always dreamed of being a flying cat, but let's assume that he did, and that this is the ultimate demonstration of Mr. Jansen's respect for his deceased pet. Orville is currently on display in Amsterdam, at the Kunstrai art festival.
