  • So...when do the scientists start running with this and we get griffins? ^_^

  • they are adapting to their envirnment- because china eats them.. now they can fly away from people trying to eat them

  • @belcar5537 asshole we dont eat cats

    attempt to make a joke after u've got ur facts right

  • @Primalxbeast so mad, why such a troll on a ols video that he is obv joking

  • Cenk needs to STFU about evolution forever, or at the very least take a couple of biology courses.

    Those aren't limbs, they can't evolve into functioning wings. Vertebrates aren't going to evolve a third pair of limbs all of a sudden. There is a reason that birds only have 2 legs.

  • @Primalxbeast

    I think that was supposed to be a joke.

  • There are genetic deformities and there are environmental deformities. Since this is china...... I am will to bet the cats also glow in the dark and will not send pass on this deformity due to it not being genetic

  • Lol, gotta love Cenk.

  • Many of these 'cat wing' mostly turnout to be fakes or deformities.

  • @SlightyDisturbedNBK I don't doubt some of them may be fake, but there are real cases. Yes, it would be considered deformities but so is every mutation. Having blue eyes is a deformity. Some deformities are harmful, some don't really have any effect, and some can be benificial and it all depends on the environment and ecosystem in which it lives. Deformity is another word for mutation.

  • @BenjaminFranklin2u Yes, I usually introduce Christian creationists to Gordon J. Glover. I have him on a playlist, "Science & Christian Education". He's excellent! He exposes the fallacious reasoning and dishonesty that 'supports' the likes of ICR, AiG, CSE, RTB, & The DI.

  • thats SILKWORM badass :D

  • It is very cute! What the fuck Anna.

  • 2:26 i want :)

  • That's not evolution, that's a mutation. . . .

  • @frostyh81 Evolution happens through mutation, how else would anything change? lol

  • @frostyh81 Mutations are what create the diversity between generations of creatures. It is very much a part of evolution.

  • This guy's not the best spokes person for evolution, given that he seems not to understand that the cat will not have to find another cat with wings to mate with. The genes for the mutation, will be deployed in the next generation regardless of which other cat it mates with. Also I think it's laying it on thick calling those wings, given they aren't an extra set of articulated limbs. This is't a flying cat as far as I can see. But yeah, it demonstrates quite dramatic mutation.

  • I thought wings were made of feathers. Not wings.

  • @gregrutz Wings are made of incredibly light bone and flesh the feathers have a purpose for the bird in the process of flying but if they was no rigid structure to the wing they would just flail around like spaghetti rendering them useless. 

  • @bunkmasterflex So, what was your point?

    My point is, Only dinosaurs have feathers.

  • @gregrutz My point is that wings don't have to be made of weather's. Your point was that they do. You said nothing about dinosaurs. Sorry to break it to you

  • That is super cute. I want one too. Lol.

  • bet the cute bastard cant fly, and, bet its fake, and gay, fake and gay

  • @Zephyr8823

    Um, can an Ostridge fly? The cat has a mutation, duh...

  • 4 legged chickens ...hmmm

  • @Archon33 12 winged chickens, think of the profit margin. Mmmmm Chicken wings.

  • I want to be a cat with wings!

  • A cat lived for over a year in China?!?!

  • i'm with cenk that's adorable, anna needs to stop hating on cats

  • That's it. Blinky scenario is unfolding.

  • RUN TWEETY!

  • those arent even wings -____-

  • These young turds are annoying! Well the dude is at least. Is it a real show or something. If it is, they need new employees.

  • whats with this guy, he is like blaberring in the whole segment

  • @Zeemas I like the dude. Maybe if you're stuck on strict professionalism, which I'm not, then his mannerisms might seem annoying.

    By the way, he seems professional to me, but he made MUCH sense.

  • awww the cat is so sweet ^.~

  • just had a thought five bucks this is wht the egyptians thought where sphixes... just saying

  • Now we know why the egyptians prayed to cats. And we know where Christianity got the angel idea from. :>

  • Angel cats, ftw?

  • looool the aritzia store in vancouver bc, had a huge display of cats with wings, somehow stuffed animal cat with wings has something to do with todays fashion

  • awwwwwwww how cuuuuuuute!!!!!!!a kitty with wings.angel kitties come to life 8)

  • Kitty with wings=super cute! :D

  • Why would cats need wings? It kind of looks like this cat's legs have been placed on the upper part of the body. Could this be just mutation?

  • @shadowgirl9891 I honestly think this animal is evolving to be more fitted to catch prey. Birds are just one good example. If cats were never domesticated they probably would have already developed this trait a long time ago, because they wouldn't have us around to feed them. This is awesome! :D

  • What's even weirder is the instance of chinese people with horns--look it up on Yahoo. Is it a result of industrial effluents in the Yangzee??? Hmmm...

  • Am I missing something? Cenk's understanding of evolution is nearly perfect. I'm impressed, most average people today don't have a great understanding of the scientific consensus of how evolution actually works.

    It always drove me crazy when Ana would ask something like 'I don't get how this is evolution.. why would it be beneficial to the [insert animal here]?' I'm glad he set her straight. Most people think like her though, which is sad.

  • But the cat can't fly, and his kids won't have that mutation.

    most likely this cat is sterile.

    evolution is a lie, where are the other cats with wings? this guy sounds like a retard.

  • @RespectMyHate Yes, the cat is likely sterile. Yes, the kids likely won't have that if he isn't.

    If you're trying to say evolution results in every single animal in one species evolving at once, you're a moron. Evolution works something like this:

    A landslide destroys all the food for one species of bird. The birds with weaker muscles can't move the rocks out of the way to eat the food. The birds with stronger muscles can, and as a result, live, while weaker ones die. Now all birds are stronger

  • @bobmuffins How did the birds get the wings in the first place? Please explain on a DNA level.

  • @RespectMyHate Mutations. Something went wrong with the DNA, and suddenly the muscles or bones aren't growing in the right way and it ends up resembling wings.

  • @RespectMyHate Why is the cat more likely to be sterile? That's just not true. Now imagine this: a male cat with useless wings is for some reason more attractive to female cats than males without wings. That male cat mates more often than his competitors and has way more offspring, each one having a 50% chance of having the appendages. As this goes on through the generations the 'wing' gene gets continually mutated, possibly but not necessarily ending up in fully working wings.

  • @labrat1807 Yeah that's right, just like other useful adaptations in any other animal. Eventually the wings will develope in cats enough to work. This didn't just happen out of no where for no reason.

  • @TheSnowyice Hate to disagree with someone who's agreeing with me (seems rude), but that's exactly what happened. These appendages or growths or whatever they are, are a random mutation with no reason behind them. Whether they stay and develop however, is not random. There is some conjecture that these growths are not genetic in origin though, but the result of polluted food and water. Its still pretty interesting though.

  • @labrat1807 Oh yeah! I forgot mutations don't really have a "reason" for being, but still it's pretty darn helpful, or will be someday. I agree with Yerzriknot, the birds are screwed! xD

  • @TheSnowyice Haha, yeah I 'liked' that comment too. But what if dofs start flying to catch the cats? And then what if cows started flying, just because they liked the idea? I'm buying steel umbrellas.

  • @labrat1807 Flying cows? Now that would be something. xD

  • umm... whos that retard at the start there?

    "THIS STORY KICKS ASS GO!!!"

    I mean seriously...

  • @LoniganTheDragon

    watch?v=uT4YL4QuBXc

  • Bwahahahaha xD what a funny mutation

  • I love you guys, but you obviously understand evolution at the same level as any other reporter. These aren't wings. They look like outgrowths that you want to call wings. You admit they have no function, and understand heredity well enough, but give no information about anyone who has actually *studied* this weird mutation.

  • being able 2 fly would b super "beneficial", cats eat birds, birds fly, cat's have probably been wanting 2 fly 4 a long time

  • @oeufgwoieu i wonder what evolutionary turn will birds take when cats start flying. by rational guess is that they will become semi aquatic like penguins, cos cats wont chase them to water. and may be then become aquatic aves similar to whales. Wait isnt that a possible parallel theory to how whales became aquatic. may be they were chased by flying cats too.../facepalm . :P

  • @sushanalone i like the way u think & penguins r super fking awesome, the way they fly thru the water, i want 2 think & type more but unfortunately i'm so drunk & tired now that i can't do much else, i hope i remeber 2 check back here tomorrow

  • shmoopy pa poopy....

  • I want to be a cat with wigs. =3

  • doesn't kent hovind type ppl say they will "believe" evolution when cats have wings?

  • i wanna grow wings

  • dis is soooo lame.....mutatin cat....evolution...? lol.....

  • their has been a fair amount of research into this subject & it is essentially a combination of sagging skin & matted fur. if u think about it their is no bird with extra limbs except their wings & feet, you dont get birds with hands aswell. & their is no 4 legged creature also with wings. we all came from a common ancestor, & that is one of the many reasons why almost all creatures on this earth have 4 limbs, you can literally match up the bone structues of dogs to humans, human to bird etc

  • I swear TYT's stories are getting lamer and lamer

    seriously, *yawn*

  • so now come to think of it....whenever random mutation happens humans are going to get a hold of it and fuck it up....no more evolution); although humans are starting to be born without appendices and we're getting taller so

  • im going to kill that man. he is a cunt i lik e tits and gettingnsucked off by me lass

  • This guy is so lame..

  • nothing new to me... my cats also have wings on them,.. they can actually fly, but we dont announce it on tv so that they will not be taken away and experimented....

    and my chihuahua can say "Yo! sup!" ...

  • @xHizukax ur so retarted, wow, just shut up

  • @TheDemarkamo huh? .... ah am not jokin here ya know...

  • @xHizukax god dam ur such a bag of crap, just go kill yourself, ur so frikin stupid and dumb and lol ya im sure ur dumbass cat can fly and ur stupid ass dog can talk, ya rite loser

  • @TheDemarkamo why are you so angry of me? is it because my cats have wings and my chihuahua can speak? ...ooh mehn, this is why i dont like to announce these..... tsk!

  • @TheDemarkamo dogs can talk, if u want to spend several hours trying to teach them how

  • @TheDemarkamo and some dogs r smarter than ppl, they know tht if they dont do a trick, u'll show them, ultimatly humiliating urself in the process, which they then find highly entertaining

  • @xHizukax Yea, stop being retarded. Everyone knows chihuahuas only speak Spanish.

  • @xHizukax flying kittys? if they hav babies can i hav one? :) i'll pay u alot n i promise not to tell anyone, pweaze?

  • @xHizukax i want tht chihuahua o.o

  • Man can u imaging a cat that could fly? Wow think of a Tiger with wings. OMG.

  • They're not really wings but that cat is really cute :)

  • They aren't an extra set of hind limbs, there are no bones.

  • Birds and bats have evolved to fly by alterations to their front legs, the same bones and muscles are there, just altered. Animals don't evolve flight by growing a new pair of limbs.

  • @primalxbeast how do you think limbs evolved in the first place

  • @jozef12321 What he is saying is that a genetic mutation wouldn't produce wings in a single mutation. And that's not what those are; that cat just has an extra set of hind limbs. That is not all that uncommon. It is kind of like a person being born with six fingers. For the cat to evolve wings, it would take hundreds of mutations that slowly changed a set of walking limbs to flying limbs. It would need other mutations like lower bone density to use the wings.

  • Cenk is a dumb fuck. An animal can't develop functional wings unless they evolve from limbs. You don't have four legged animals with wings. Study a bit of comparative anatomy retard. You need bones and muscles that alter in shape, not just boom, you get wings from flesh and fur.

  • @Primalxbeast It is indeed a random genetic mutation because it's not a tumor or an absorbed twin. The thing is, those aren't wings; they just look like it so they are calling them wings. Like you say, you can't just all of the sudden evolve full wings out of the blue, even useless wings. I think what that is is just some kind of limb mutation, though limb mutations are how birds evolved wings. Though many animals have genes for limbs that they don't have such as the hip-bone gene in whales.

  • @Primalxbeast Cont: You know what it is; it's just an extra set of undeveloped back limbs turned upward. If you've ever seen a picture of an human born with extra limbs or fingers, they are always askewed and malformed. If that picture isn't a fake, that has to be what it is. So I guess, depending on how natural selection acts on this, it could be a good or bad mutation, though because it's someone's pet, it will be artifical selection as they will decide to breed it or not.

  • ew. kill it.

  • Ana: how would that be beneficial?

    Cenk: if a cat can fly it would only be super-beneficial!

  • @mukome

    It could very well be beneficial because they might decide to let it breed because they want to pass the gene on. Otherwise, that cat might not get the chance to breed. Because the cat's owner will probably decide, it will be artifical selection instead of natural.

  • I'd like to see a DNA evaluation to see if it is a substantial difference.

  • @matthewtaylorbrown

    It shouldn't be substantial at all. It was most likely caused by a mutation that grew an extra set of hind limbs so the difference shouldn't be anymore significant than that between any cat and it's parent.

  • When cats fly lol

  • Anna doesn't like cats... ok, time to get a new co-host!

  • I second shmopie papopie!

  • Those jerks gave the cat red bull. T_T

  • btw, this guy sux, "wow wow"

    what a moron.

  • This is true, not fake for sure.

  • they have a disease where there skin gets pulled and muscles grow there and it looks like they have wings!

  • @cool1forever so, if the muscles grow there, woudlnt tht mean tht they would hav complete, or parchal(sp?) over the 'wing'?

  • its called Cutaneous Asthenia, and its a skin growth disease that comes from poor grooming, probably why its only seen in third world countrys and were animal abuse lies.

  • the only thing cooler is a flying monkey!

  • fuckin amazing

  • i want an amry of winged cats!!!

    *maniacal laughter*

  • That's it. Birds are fucked.

  • @Yerzriknot

    yup birds are screwed

  • @Yerzriknot LMFAO

  • @Yerzriknot  not really cats would have to deal with predatory birds which have sharp beaks and talons. and its matted fur not really wings :P

  • Cenk is so right. that cat is adorable

  • That is the most badass thing I have ever seen.

  • agreed! is it bad to reeeeeeeeealy want one? ^_____^

  • Nope.

  • ^_____^

  • Evolution, huh? So much for, "they're not really wings"?

  • Go read a science book.

  • game over dude....game over

  • it's caused by a slight rise in temp. It's their body reacting to the diferance in temp. aka global warming I read that after I google searched it.

  • Super cute , I agree.

  • Guess that cat drunk too many Red Bulls.

  • @CorvixEyes hahahahahahahahha nice one

  • @uploooood Thanks. :)

  • With Cenk

    Evolution in the Making

    Wats With Anna, Shes always against Evolution

  • almost looks like a moogle if you ask me, except it's missing an antenna.

  • damn it i wanna grow wings and shoot flames outta my ass....

  • i shoot flames out my ass depending on the my diet

  • i love cats i love cats

  • Proven: Cat-erpillars become Cat-erflies.

  • Prof, prove comes from latin word probare with means test or in other words is something is proven doest mean any other thing but that is tested, it doesnt say that test results were 100 true. For this prof we can find enxplanation elsewhere, like that the cat was degenerated

  • My mom's maxi-pads are mutated too. They now have wings.

  • first video by the young turks that i liked

  • Lol "it lacks all Schmoopie Papoopienes"

  • She does not like cats ??!! It is a RED FLAG when people claim to not like animals.

  • New argument against creationists:

    Cats...with...wings...game...o­ver.

    This is why I adore this show.

  • they dont contain bones but if u keep the mutation alive and breed it they could develope bones or funtioning muscels but these cats are rare n im sure theres not testing or breeding being done the mutation will probubly die out like the dwarf cat mutation 3 inchs head to tail

  • the pseudo-wings could be used by the cat to appear larger to predators or competition or they could use wings as sort of gliders to soften their landing from tall structures (... in addition to their special leg design that they already have for absorbing high falls) and even give them an advantage with hunting. as far as sustained flight, not really... the "wings" have to originate around the leg areas

  • haha XD

  • Im tellin you, if cats keep this up. Dogs will be extinct soon!!!!!lol

  • Its just a skincondition..

  • with bones? if you see the real news not this bull crap youll see the flaps contain bone structures... NOT SKIN BUDDY! heheheheh... And YES it does benefit the cats.. CATS LOOOOVE catching birds right? Birds.. fly so if they fly.. BAM! easy.

  • There are some different causes of wing-like appendages..

    The moust comment one is cats with matted fur..

    Less commonly, mats can occur in shorthaired cats if molted fur adheres to growing fur over several seasons

    The other

    Another explanation is a skin condition called cutaneous asthenia or fca, wich we can call elastic skin..

    another explanation is a form of conjoining or extra limbs..

  • MEOW

  • Mankind is evolution.. He changes things by changing climate and more.

    As the world is very old. Ancient documents have pictures and thoughts drawn into perspective, Of Lions with wings. A cat is all part of the same spiecies.

  • I belive in evolution too.

  • That is one cool cat I want one soo bad

  • this cant be evolution because it doesnt make sence and evolution makes sence. evolution is based on adapting and not random mutations. so the chances are that cats are growing weaker and weaker because the weve been pampering them not grow wings, so this is just random mutation like conjoint twins

  • IT'S A MOOGLE!!!!

  • KUPO!

  • Maybe the cat ate a LOT of birds?!

    Birds. Have. Wings.

  • If the cat could fly, that would be super beneficial LOL

  • DUDE! XD ,Legends and Myths LIVE!

  • It *may* be a mutation - in which case he is correct.

  • I want to be a cat with wings.

  • As do I.

  • first, how cool is that

    second, ana is a retard, mutations DO NOT have to be beneficial, mutations are RANDOM

  • lol!!! shmopy papopy angle  ...brilliant

  • evolution is real, but that cat doesnt have wings, lol. they should make a retraction

  • that cat kicks ass

  • that cat owns ass

  • wat

  • Did scientist take any x-ray pictures?

  • Evolution isn't a cause, its a result.

  • MMMMMMMMMmmmmmmm- mutant Szechuan kitty wings-
