Stressed Out Chinese Cat Sprouts Wings

We all react differently to stress, but some species react very differently. Fox News reports that a cat in China recently “sprouted a pair of fur-covered wings on his back.” The cat’s owner believes the wings grew “as a result of stress from too many females desiring to mate with him.” A stressful scenario indeed! If only this cat had practiced better stress management, he might still be wing-free today. Yoga Master David Life sat down with Big Think to discuss the benefits of meditation as a means of regulating our reactions to the world around us. A regular meditation practice helps to “clear out the clutter inside so that we can undertake actions from a… purer space.” So far, we haven’t heard of the downward cat—but we have heard of people practicing yoga with their dog. Alas, perhaps in time, this over-sexed feline can stretch and meditate his wings away.
