H MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Wednesday. Mey 31. 1930 Sad Day for Birds When Cat Learns to Use Wings Madrid. Soain. Mav 31 (U.R) It will be a sad day for the birds when Angolina learns to use her wings. Angolina is a cat. And she is the only eat in this or any other country with wings, her owner, Juan Pricgo, proudly claims.

Unu M-362 licanu 5-285 PHONE 2-88t Like Other Cats Priego admitted that Angolina still has not learned how to spread her wings and take off after birds in their own element, but he explained that she is pretty young yet. "we have had her three months." the 55-year-old Priego said. "We took her over from a neighbor who would not feed her. Except for the wings, she is like any other cat." And Angolina is. She has green eyes, whiskers and she meows. Priego and his 80-year-old wife, Victoria, have given An golina a place of honor in the kitchen of their basement apart ment because such is such an unusual pet. So unusual, In fact, that Prie go has turned down offers run ning as high as $70,000 and plans to take her on tour in Mexico next week if the gov ernment will give him and his cat a passport. Fee Charged He said 30,000 persons have tried to get a look at Angolina since the news got out that she is a cat with wings. "We started out charging a fee to see her, but it got out of bounds," Priego said. He said the rush was so great it nearly drove his wife crazy. Priego said his cat has many admirers. "An air force captain offered to swap me his house for her. Wanted to take her on tour." He wouldn't say who the air force captain was, but said an other bidder had offered him 700,000 pesetas ($70,000) if he would sell Angolina. Doctors who have examined Angolina say that the wings are real. They are formed by a type of cartilege. All the excitement doesn't bother Angolina. Wings folded neatly over her body, she dozes i in the Priego kitchen and licks ; her wings a 1 m o s t like any j other cat.
