Winged Cat, taken from the Independent Press, 3rd August 1894

A live cat with winges resembling those of a ducking is now being exhibited in the neighbourhood by Mr David Badcock of the Ship Inn, Reach. The cat which is a year old did not until recently expose such a remarkable freak of nature, but being somewhat roughly handled spread out its wings. The owner charges the sum of 2d for callers in the daytime to see such a strange being and has commenced taking it round the neighbouring villages in the evenings to exhibit.
