Still unbearably cute, though. [Gothamist]

She says that her pet cat grew "angel wings" on his back last summer after some female cats in heat "harassed" him. Cats with wings, however, are not an unknown phenomenon, and geneticists say that a cat sprouting "wings" could be a sign of a genetic defect, a skin condition, or poor grooming. Well, if this photo is to be believed, that kitty is suffering from one heinous hair cut. (See the full-sized image after the jump.) [Daily Mail via Boing Boing]

A 7-week-old Indian lion "Raja" relaxes after feeding milk at the Yokohama zoological gardens Zoorasia, south of Tokyo, Japan.
The tiny lion cub is one of a rare subspecies of lions called the Asiatic lion. Only 350 individuals are known to survive in the wild. The last of the Asiatic lions live in the state of Gujarat in India. "His mother is not only unaccustomed to raising a child but also a bit too old as a lion to raise a child. So after discussions, we decided to raise him by ourselves because it would enhance his survival probability."—Shunichiro Tajima, Zoo Keeper
