The cat, whose name was Orville (I mean, it was destiny, right?), passed away after being hit by a car. That's when Dutch artist Bart Jansen decided to preserve the striped feline's body and turn it into a work of art that also happens to fly around the room in the most terrifying way that ever existed. The Orvillecopter is now on display in Amsterdam.

I find this disturbing. That was his companion. And he basically made a mockery of it once he was dead. Would it be okay to do that to a dead dog? What about a dead grandmother? With death should come a measure of dignity. It doesn't matter who or what you are.

I can only hope one day my cat does something as meaningful as this

But to be fair isn't dignity up to your own perception?

This is the most disturbing and oddly hilarious thing I've ever seen by how disturbed I am... I mean a cat with propellors flying to light sounding japanese music? Seriously? This dude reeks of sociopathy.

Call me presumptuous, but I don't think the cat wanted to become a damn helicopter. There's a pretty universal standard for how we treat living things once they die.

 

[spideyboy_1111]

I'm not too sure, I think most cats would love to fly after and chase birds

 

[Motown Marvel]

Yes!!!!

 

[Harls]

That's disgusting.

Is this ''Artist" Dr Robotnik?

 

[C. Lee]

So many people confuse the words "artist" and "creepy mofo"........

Seriously.

If he weren't an "artist" he would be arrested for this...

This is damn weird.

I couldn't agree with you more. The video was just disturbing. How or why anyone would do such a thing to a once-living being baffles me.

PETA's gonna be all over Bart Jansen after this.

.... You can't get arrested for stuffing your dead cat no matter the pose they're in....

Also, just in case people don't know (I didn't till a few years ago) stuffing really isn't stuffing, it's just using the skin and fur on a mold. No eyes, bones, or organs are intact. (not that it makes it less creepy)

There was a taxidermy artist at comic con about 3 years ago that combined steam punk with the form. It was kinda interesting. She also only used found specimens. She didn't kill or hunt the animal

Humans never cease to disturb me.

I never said stuffing was okay either. And to my knowledge no one else has. You're trying to distract from the issue by saying "well some people do this too..."

"Rest in peace" is not just a catchy slogan we put on headstones.

 

[spideyboy_1111]

depends on your belief.

some believe once your gone, your gone. The body is nothing

i'm not taking sides, or distracting from anything. Just saying there's different beliefs.

 

[Liam_H]

That is just creepy. But to each is own.

 

[Duke]

This is disturbing & disgusting in my opinion. I wouldn't turn my deceased pet into a mockery.

There has to be some sore of animal cruelty or desecration law against stuff like this. Essentially getting a laugh out of using a dead animals body, but since it's "art" it gets a pass.

The title for this thread deserves all the points. 10/10

In fear of sounding like an intolerant bigot, there is something very wrong with you if you turn your dead cat into a helicopter.

Just saying it out loud sounds insane.
