As a cat owner and animal lover, I tend to find this pretty disrespectful.
Why did Salvador Dali cross the road?
Clocks.

Yeah, if he loved his pet, he's really not honoring its memory in any way I would consider normal.

Is setting fire to your deceased cat normal?

I hope DARPA doesn’t see this they’ll have all kinds of dead pets lined up for wind tunnel testing at Langley

Nah. They've got poor people for that.

I remember seeing Roy and Dale talking about this on Carson, must have been late 70s. Dale said she was thinking of having Roy stuffed too.

That museum closed a couple of years ago. Trigger, Bullet and the rest of the contents were all auctioned off.

"Cats away! Artist turns his dead pet into flying helicopter after it is killed by a car"

Ah, a still flyable Consolidated CATalina. A rare find.


It's nice if cats are put to something useful, don't we all agree?




We have new neighbors with a cat named "Liselotte", the (in recent decades not very prevalent) name of my late mother. Chris might have had the reincarnation of JAE as a feline companion, but with me mom has now moved back in!

How could I not have seen the connection...


I just didn't have the 17k to hand to become a partner...

I recently watched this beastie doing circuits round Duxford one afternoon, purely by chance; a considerably better flyer...

If research was easy, it wouldn't need doing...
Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...

Hey, what a cool way to fool terrorists....build a drone into a dead moose.....

"What's that up there?"
"Nuthin.  Just another moose."

Maybe they'd have to be pretty dumb terrorists.
