It's said that every time you hear a bell ring, a cat gets its wings. Oh wait, that's angels. Well, either way, some cats have wings, or wing like protrusions growing from their backs.
In Quingyan province in China, a tabby cat named Tom recently grew its own pair of fur-covered wings. According to the U.K.'s Daily Mail, the wings started as odd growths on the cat's back, they later turned into what looked like wings during a hot spell in China.
The cat's owner, Feng, told the Daily Mail that the wings were stress induced, caused by females harassing the cat to mate.
But genetic experts say the growths are not actually wings. Instead, they are a result of poor grooming, a genetic defect or a hereditary skin condition.
Still, the wing like protrusions do contain bones, but, considering that they're not actually wings, it's not likely the cat will ever gain the ability to fly.
