There was a winged cat discovered in China. Here's the story:

They've been known to exist for some time now, but are they true wings, or just a skin defect? I'd imagine that some of cats' extremely distant evolutionary ancestors may have had wings, but there are no winged humans, and we'd probably share those same ancestors.

Answer 1

Boneless cat wings. Less work for them.

Answer 2

Cats never had wings. There ansectors were the saber toothed marsupial linon and tigers. Thats a fake. The wings are tufts of hair. What could be the purpose of wings on a cat? And morte specifically, such thin wings?

Answer 3

It is just matted fur, usually. Sometimes it's just like skin, that grows on their backs, like extra appendages. These appendages are pretty much boneless, so the cat has little to no use at all over them. (:

Answer 4

No, the 'wings' are made of matted hair.

Answer 5
