BEIJING – It has been revealed that a cat in China has developed wings on its back!
The white cat was born normal, but as it matured, grew furry wing-link appendages on either side of its back.
Scientists are not sure how the “wings” occurred. There are two possible explanations: chemicals caused a genetic mutation during pregnancy, or the cat developed from two different embryos.
This is not the first time a cat has grown wings. There are over thirty scientifically documented cases in recorded history. Another cat was found in China just two years ago. Are these cases related to China’s ongoing pollution problem?
The cat certainly doesn’t seem to mind!

How likely could it be that it developed from two embryos, one of which was winged? :S

it can be as you just or Matted Fur-they are extensive mats of fur which hang from the cat until the whole mat falls away. mmm… and its possible that the cat has "Elastic Skin" deformity of the skin that causes pendulous wing-like folds of skin on the cat's back or shoulders. :3

If it happened after birth then it wasn't conjoined twins. It's either matted fur, or a certain skin/tumor deformity which rarely causes wing-like growths.
