    No the catcopter is not grotesque. It's just in poor taste.

    Now the catjet is grotesque. Especially with it's placement of the engine exhaust.

    I would argue against it being in poor taste. Oh, someone on the internet doesn't like it? Too bad. It wasn't their cat. It was helicopter guy's cat. His cat. He turned his own dead cat into a helicopter after it got run over by a car.

    He was sad that his cat died, and then he wanted to do something fun to compensate.

    So that's in poor taste? Whose taste? The only person whose opinion is relevant in this case is the opinion of the cat's owner, and he's the one who built the catcopter.

    Did the cat give consent to become a helicopter? And if not, why not? If it lacks the cognitive ability to do so, is it amoral to decide for it. Furthermore, is it moral to own another sentient being in the first place? And does doing so give you ethical control over their entire existence?

    Some of these questions have answers. Some do not. But they should be asked and considered before turning your pet into a flying machine when it dies. It is in poor taste for the very fact that these questions can be asked of the situation in the first place. It's not cut and dry, and hardly the most offensive thing I've seen all day, let alone all time.

    But don't pull the 'someone on the internet doesn't like it, too bad' card because that just goes nowhere and doesn't add anything to the conversation.

    is human leather actually any good

    Well, according to http://www.humanleather.co.uk/:

    "Just like animal leather products, produced from lesser animals, our raw human skin is transformed into the finest grade human leather by using a traditional tanning process. However, human leather is the finest grain leather that is obtainable. It is free from defects and has the smallest grain size which makes it the smoothest, softest leather on Earth."

    I've described it as stupid, macabre, and grotesque, and it really is

    You've not given us any decent reason why, though. Apart from saying that it's "undignified."

    What's so dignified about being left to rot in the ground, in that case? Or set on fire and burned to ashes?

    Some people have their dead pets stuffed. Is that wrong and undignified? What's so special about the act of putting rotors and a motor on something that makes it cross over into unacceptable territory?

    how on earth do you describe why a cat helicopter is grotesque

    it's a gut feeling, I look at it and it's deeply unpleasant

    but it's the public spectacle thats bothering me, honestly

    people stuffing their pets is something I find a little odd myself, but if it helps them remember a loved animal, I can find no fault in it

    similarly, if this guy put rotors on his cat and flew it around for his own tribute for the cat, I'd find it odd

    hell, I'd still find it creepy and horrible, but it was his cat

    but what bugs me isn't entirely that, it's the nagging feeling that this is less a tribute for the cat and more an attention grab

    the capatilization on the death of a loved animal for personal gain

    that's what I find distasteful

    hm

    the wiki says you can get the guppy's hairball unlocked by having both the guppy's tail and the dead cat, but I had both and I didn't get an unlock message

    I know some folks have been having trouble getting the unlock messages but they've always worked for me

    I suppose maybe it was because I haven't unlocked the guppy's tail yet, although it's clearly glitched and on the available items list

    or maybe the wiki was wrong

    I know it's not a valid comparison but it got a bit of a chuckle from me

    I am totally okay with catcopter

    I mean

    I love my cats, they are my little gentlemen, and I am probably not going to turn them into a helicopter.

    but look at the expression on that face
    as that cat was dying, the man leaned in and whispered "I am going to turn you into a helicopter" and the cat smiled and then died

    neither does nebulously referring to the cat's ability to give "consent" and then throwing out the super deep question of whether it is morally objectionable to own a domesticated animal and feed and care for it, though, especially when you're going to toss out a word like "sentient" like that

    pro tip: consent only matters when consent is a fundamental part of the relationship you're trying to form. You can't marry a dog because marriage requires consent. Since it is not necessary or fundamental to the designer/engineering materials relationship that the engineering relationship give consent, whether it can do so or not is irrelevant.

    people are freaked out by this because it is deeply unsettling (or are very serious vegans) on a visceral level. That was probably the intent of the artist. There's no serious moral question here for the majority of humanity.

    i love cats, and this is stupid and in bad taste

    it is also hilarious

    people think it is in bad taste because in america and much of western culture we treat cats like family members.

    in other parts of the world they eat cats and dogs without thinking twice because they taste delicious.

    are those people doing something morally wrong? They're killing the cat on purpose. This cat died on accident. Is there something inherent to the cat's body that means the lifeless mass of tissue should be treated in any certain way?
