Orville certainly isn't the first cat to fly, but he may be the first cat to do so under his own power.

I have a dark sense of humor, but this seems pretty disrespectful — and chasing cows with the thing just makes it worse. This is in bad taste.

[the invisib1e hand]

without even bothering with the video (which I trust will ruin it) this is, at this point, probably the funniest thread I’ve ever seen.

[the invisib1e hand]

chasing cows with the thing

omg it's already getting better!

[cripplecreek]

LOL SailCats

[the invisib1e hand]

Time for part II.

[Psalm 144]

“omg it’s already getting better!”

And the narration is in Dutch.

[the invisib1e hand]

just seems like you guys should see this.

[the invisib1e hand]

just sit back and watch the fur fly.

[vladimir998]

omg

[al baby]

Love it Im going to do the MIL dog when the time comes

[Jack Hydrazine]

Morbid but funny! Next thing you know someone will try it with a bobcat, lynx or maybe even a cougar!

[rawcatslyentist]

The Bovines were not amused.

[JRandomFreeper]

I am so doing that to Sky when he passes on. Cayanne is way too fat and lazy to be honored that way. But Sky would appreciate it.

I cat think of anything funnier today. Belly landing.

[JRandomFreeper]

Bovines are always grumpy about something. That's the reason they get tipped.

[USFRIENDINVICTORIA]

I agree with both of you guys.

It’s disrespectful. I wanted to hate it. I laughed out loud.

[xone]

Great use for a dead cat.

[Lazamataz]

I won’t be satisfied until I see a taxidermied human quadcopter.

[davius]

FUBO. If we hadn’t flushed Bin Laden, just think of the effect that being strafed by his corpse would have on the cave dwellers. The ‘Airwolf’ theme would add to the moment as well.

“And the narration is in Dutch.”

Nigel Powers: There are only two things I can’t stand in this world. People who are intolerant of other people’s cultures… and the Dutch.

[jongaltsr]

Great video.

I am now inspired to make shit to fly.

[NoGrayZone]

Ewwwwwwww.

[NoGrayZone]

Ewwww ping.

[Past Your Eyes]

Orville was meant to fly.

[houeto]

I could see this becoming a “UNDEAD THREAD”.

[houeto]

Good Grief!!! The ULTIMATE Viking Kitty!

[dayglored]

> I could see this becoming a “UNDEAD THREAD”.

As a cat-lover I tried to be shocked and dismayed but I was laughing too hard. I wish I understood Dutch -- they've gotta be saying some weird stuff. My favorite part is when he's chasing the cows.

Yeah, this thread has potential. :)

Macabre.

But thanks for the ping, houeto.

Just sayin’.

[RichInOC]

You wouldn’t think they could have come up with something meaner to do to a cat than the Tabby Tote, would you?

[buffaloguy]

I am thinking one with a ram jet. Redhead ramjet. Awesome.

LOL, I thought it was AWESOME, then again, I'm like a Jedi Master of bad taste.

I think this thing should be combined with with the "taco drone" that was in the news a couple months ago.

[SIDENET]

Just imagine the reaction if someone's cat passed away and you surprised them with the "quadcopter" version of kitty.

"Look honey, he's new and improved!"

[SIDENET]

I cat think of anything funnier today. Belly landing.

I amost peed myself when that thing took to the air.

LOL.

[NewHampshireDuo]

I’m building a large quad. We have an aging cat. Hmmmm.....

[moose07]

It was his own cat!

No accounting for taste....

[goseminoles]

Yes. We will see that GIF often in the near future..

[RansomOttawa]

Flying dead cat + scared cows + Airwolf theme = awesome.

[TheOldLady]

It looks thick-furred and healthy. I suspect it gave its life for its owner’s hobby.

[moose07]

From what i can make-out he says it died of old age.
I do hope that is the case!

Exhibit A why the Dutch should stick to finance and cheese-making.

[TigersEye]

Nice shirt, Bart! Where can I get one like that?

[Dr.Zoidberg]

The Air Wolf theme music was a particularly nice touch.

I always suspected cats were from Hell, but now Heli-Cats?

Oh the nightmares can only become darker.

[Slings and Arrows]

I am unsurprised to find that the creator is German.

[Lurker]

This is the only reason I would ever donate my body to science. But I want arm mounted machine guns and a rear firing napalm cannon. Hot lead as I’m coming at you and flaming napalm death as I pull away.
