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.

This is just a bizarre use of an old family pet. :\

Second, last week I informed POPSCI, that any video posted from their website, which originates from YouTube would not be seen by some of the military, as YouTube is being blocked..
I guess, they do not care or have not fixed the problem yet.

This could be useful if the military adopt this ability. I like to see drones, with pig skins flying about terrorist. ;)

Having just lost a family pet to cancer, you can hopefully understand how distressed I am to see this pop up in my RSS feed reader. That "artist" is one sick son of a bitch.

I agree with you. Only a sick mind could concieve of doing that to an animal you supposedly loved

As the rat from the previous article was taught to walk upright and upstairs, he hears an announcement over the speaker system, “Welcome to feline airlines, we hope you enjoy your flight. The weather ahead looks purrrfect. Please enjoy your flight and the in flight menu, will be YOU!"

Neither science nor popular... this article ought not have been published and should be removed immediately... unless you'd like to expand it and discuss the mental health of the... "inventor"... ?

What would posses you to believe that this is remotely interesting or moral. I strongly recommend popsci relinquish this columnist and rethink its objectives. NOT IMPRESSED!!!
