Genetic mutation or is it Cat’s hereditary features showing after thousands of years dormant?

The owner of the tom cat, a woman identified as Granny Feng, says the wings make her pet look like a “cat angel.” The fur-covered wings actually contain bones, and are about four inches in length. “At first, they were just two bumps, but they started to grow quickly,” said Feng. “But after a month there were two wings,” she reported to the The Huashang News.

Why the cat sprouted “wings” is uncertain, but Chinese experts say that they are likely not wings at all, but rather a genetic mutation. Such mutations are fairly common in animals, but such extreme mutation is rare. The wings are incapable of flight, and they should not prevent the cat from living a normal, healthy life.
