I've seen two cats displaying this behavior....one was chasing a
squirrel across a telephone line and the other chasing a dove over a
roof. The fur on their tails appeared to flatten out to assume the
shape of a wing thus giving it the required lift. The speed at which
it rotated was very fast, maybe to account for the single rotor.

Both cats were silent in their flight......except for their
twittering.

I cannot do this....I prefer a jetpack.

I heard that cats can use their tails like a helicopter and fly
several miles while hunting birds.

Is that true or just an urban legend ?
