Yea...this is wrong =/ I'm sorry, but this is just fucking wrong. Maybe I'm being too soft, but when you're a cat lover like I am, imagine if someone took someone you loved after they died and did this to them. Cats and dogs are animals, yes...but they are also animals that can melt a person's heart, and you can grow very attached to. It's a disgrace to do this to this animal in death even, because it deserves to rest in peace.

I could see it now

"Timmy, we know how much you miss mittens and how much you love helicopters.... well you're in luck!"

While this whole thing is disturbing on one level at 1:00 AM this cat copter is also tragically hilarious.

If I were to be turned into a helicopter after I was released from this mortal coil... it would be BADASS! Turn me into a helicopter to scare some kids, I don't care. Put some missiles in my mouth and unhinge my jaw to fire them!
 
To be honest, I would rather be turned into a helicopter than buried.
I know it wasn't their intent, but this made me laugh pretty hard

I just can't stop thinking about how fucked up this is. I mean, imagine after dying, your family does the same shit to you to make a bigger helicopter? And then your lifeless naked body flies around while a crowd claps, and when you bump into someone with your cold soul-less flesh, they just laugh. And nobody seems to think it's fucked up...

I don't like this, if it was done in genuine tribute to a beloved cat because the owner thought it would be cool/nice then okay but I doubt that was the intent. I know it's just dead meat and doesn't feel anything but the spectacle of it just feels wrong. When a human dies I feel like their organs should be up for grabs, the default action made unless chosen otherwise would be to donate to science, but I still wouldn't want to see someone spread out like this and made to do weird contortions for everyone's amusement. Although I remember reading once that some bodies donated to science are used for target practice while manufacturing weapons/ammunition.

Cat owner and lover here, and I recognize that it is wrong. But that doesnt stop me from laughing at how absurd and ridiculous it is.

I don't know whether to laugh or feel disgusted.

Is this really no different than taxidermy? Or is it the issue of taxidermy being out of respect/remembrance compared to this being out of entertainment?

this is one of the few threads on GAF that got me to chuckle by the title alone.

That video has way too many undeserved dislikes lol.

F-14 Tomcat.

Cyborg taxidermy will explode after this. Mark my words. Next there will be tank dogs, and ATV bunnies.
Please say he installed a camera in this thing to livestream the flights around the neighborhood!

A win for dog lovers everywhere.

Seriously, at least he's doing something with his dead stuffed animal. My stepdad has about 10 busts of animals he killed in Africa, and all you can do is look at them.

Perhaps this is what you get a man whom I presume has everything for father's day. What dad wouldn't want a flying buffalo, even if it is just a head.
 
The Orvillecopter, half cat, half machine. Named after the famous aviator Orville Wright. He was killed by a car. After that he received his propellers posthumously. This is Orvillecopter's first test flight, Soon to be flying with the birds. Oh how he loved birds. He will receive more powerful engines and larger props for his birthday. So this hopping will soon change into steady flight. For the catlovers: it is a tanned hide, just like the shoes you're wearing. For the RC lovers: it's a Lotus T580 (still)

Brilliant

After seeing the video I'm going to change my opinion to 2 thumbs down. it flies about as well as you'd expect a stuffed cat with helicopter blades attached to it to fly.

Same. This helicopter can only barely manage to hover about half an inch off the ground.
