Solved! The mystery of the green cat

by 1 Comment

green cat

If you saw a bright green cat wander down your street what would you think?

Ghost? Monster? Some poor cat that had been painted green by some anti-social vandal?

Those thoughts must have been what residents of the Black Sea resort town of Varna in Bularia wrestled with as a rather handsome – but entirely green – cat was spotted wondering around.

The mystery of the green cat has been solved, though. According to the Telegraph the green cat has been sleeping during the day among the remains of synthetic green paint in an old garage. It came out mainly at night.

10 photographs of cats with wings

Mythology is full of stories of winged cats. It’s easy to imagine why the concept of freedom loving felines combined with flight would appeal to storytellers.

As it happens winged cats are real. They’re not confined to mythology.

Sadly, among the few cases of winged cats recorded with enough detail the condition is often traced to “Cuteaneous Asthenia” or sometimes the mere impression of wings is created by longhair breeds with matted fur. In fact, in the UK the TV program “Animal Hospital” featured several cases of this.

In depth further reading on winged cats be found at Messy Beast.
