The winged cat – a feline with wings like a bird, bat or other flying creature – is a theme in artwork and legend going back to prehistory, especially mythological depictions of big cats with eagle wings in Eurasia and North Africa. Belief in domestic cats with wings persists to the present day as an urban legend. Sightings of cats with supposed wings are easily explained by medical conditions that can result in matted hair, loose skin, or supernumerary limbs on or near the shoulders, that flap about in a wing-like manner as the cat runs.

  • 翼猫(つばさねこ)とは翼のようなものがついた猫である。中国では「天使猫」とも呼ばれている。未確認動物とされる場合があるが多くの写真・資料、研究結果がある。 基本的に鳥のように空を飛ぶことはできない。空を飛んだという話も存在するが写真などで確認された例はない。 (ja)
  • 飛貓(英語:Winged cat),也被稱為“天使貓”,是一種長著蝙蝠翅膀的貓。目前為止還是一個神秘的物種。從20世紀開始,就有不少人發現過這種動物。但是,對這種動物的是否真的存在仍然存在爭議。也有專家指出,可能是一種雜種或變異生物。 (zh)
  • Un chat ailé est un chat ayant sur le dos des appendices ressemblants à des ailes. C'est un thème récurrent de la mythologie qui demeure sous la forme d'une légende urbaine. L'observation de chats supposément « ailés » s'explique facilement par des symtomes médicaux : pousse anormale des poils sur les chats à poil long formant une touffe au niveau des flancs, une maladie dermatologique l’asthénie cutanée où la peau forme des plis ou l'apparition de membres supplémentaires.
