Many animal lovers find it hard to part with their pets when they die.​

So when cat Orville, named after the famous aviator Orville Wright, was run over by a car, his artist owner decided to turn him into a permanent piece of artwork as the ultimate tribute by transforming him into a flying helicopter.​

Dutch artist Bart Jansen first stuffed Orville before teaming up with radio control helicopter flyer Arjen Beltman to build a specially-designed flying mechanism to attach to the cat.​

The end result, named the Orvillecopter, is now on show at the Kunstrai art festival in Amsterdam where visitors can watch Orville flying for themselves.​

​

Jansen said the Orvillecopter is 'half cat, half machine', and part of a visual art project to pay tribute to his cat Orville.​

Jansen, part of the art cooperative Generaal Pardon, said: 'After a period of mourning he received his propellers posthumously.'​

He added that Orville will soon be 'flying with the birds' stating: 'Oh how he loved birds. He will receive more powerful engines and larger props for his birthday. So this hopping will soon change into steady flight.' "​

I would have to mount a helmet cam on him so I could watch everyones reactions!!!

Why do stuffed pets always have that scared look? I saw some dumb TLC show once where a guy had his pet Boxer stuffed and he had that same "deer in the headlights" look... Now, actual deer? Much calmer expressions/eyes.

That's just wrong! Should have been jet powered plane, cat's are aerodynamic!

If someone stuffed a helicopter up your butt you would look scared too.




Either that or the cats expression froze when he saw the car coming.

I'd like to see what a Mockingbird would do w it?

 

[livetorun]

I think all animals that are taxidermied should be put in the pose that there were in when they died. It'd be much more interesting.

 

[mbalbritton]

FINALLY!!! A cat you can play with!

 

[GubNi]

I wonder if he still lands on his feet all the time?
