Slightly disturbing.

why are people making such a big deal out of this, I think it would be awesome if after I was dead someone could stuff me and make me fly around all day. It is my dream to fly after all. lol

It’s kind of disturbing when you think you have to open up his belly, shove your hand in, and plug in the batteries. Talk about disrespecting the dead.

Also, what if things go awry and the kitty crashes. You'll have cat body parts and broken bones all over the place. Do you really need to happen about the scene and see your already dead cat with a broken neck and a compound arm fracture?

Actually, the more I think about this, the more grotesque it actually gets...

I'd like to know how many of the "dislikers" eat meat. Mass production of meat is far worse. But then you never see how they live to die.


The main reason I posted the picture is because it's so utterly odd.

Not just mass production of meat, but also scientific research.

Ever heard of a autopsy?

An autopsy isn't done for fun. It's done for scientific merit, and research purposes.

Opening up the belly of your dead cat and plugging in batteries so you can fly it around on a homemade quadrocopter seems pretty disrespectful in my eyes. It's not the way I'd want to remember my cat, and I don’t think it’s the way you’d want to remember yours either.

I wouldn't care what's done with my cat's body after she dies. Same goes for my body after I die. Before you jump to any more wild assertions, consider who owned the cat before the cat died. If you think this is disrespecting the dead, I have seen worse that'll make your head spin.

I wonder if you could do this with a live cat?

You probably could, but then you would have the crowd of people yelling out animal abuse. I've seen people equip their cats with scuba gear, and take their cats (live cats) diving to 50+ feet below water.

Who cares who owned the cat before. I think it's in pretty poor taste. Sorry for inferring that you wouldn't want your dead cat, (the one you just bought), to be floating around as a copter once it's dead....

Good for you. You've got no idea what I've experienced either. Get off your narcissistic high horse. You aren’t the only one who’s lived a life.

What people think is respectful to their dead loved ones can be quite different.

These are coffins from East Africa:

And some people think it's absolutely fine to their own animals. There are 7 billion people in the world, there's bound to be a few wack jobs out there. Just because someone does it, doesn't mean it's cool. But hey, that's me. Why not turn uncle Frank into an RC plane while you're at it. Where does it end?

And neither have you. This is why I hate talking to you. You think I'm on this 'high horse' every time my opinion doesn't agree with yours.

So why do you talk then?

Where have I stated that I claimed to have seen it all?

You're definitely implying here that you've seen more than I. Other examples can be found around the forum where you strut about the with your "life experiences".

I have seen worse =/= I have seen it all.

So now you think everyone on this forum (myself included) grew up in Mr Rodgers neighborhood and lived happy go lucky lives, spoiled rotten? And/or everyone on this forum is a teenager living at home with their parents? You are sorely mistaken.

You're questioning my comments I made about my experiences, meaning you think I'm living a stereotypical life of a teenager at home with mommy and daddy. Also, you need to revamp your reading comprehension level.

I have seen worse =/= I have seen it all =/= I have seen more than you. It means I have seen worse.

No. You've misunderstood. I just don't think you should jump to conclusions that you're the only one who's lived a difficult life around here.
