Bionic Bird: a cat-foolin', smartphone-controlled ornithopter

[Read the post]

Let’s be honest. It’s not a matter of fooling the cat. They just don’t give a shit if it really is a bird…as long as they can murder it they are fine with the situation. If fooling it were the issue, they wouldn’t attack a stick with a feather taped to it.
