The folder containing the winged cat article that I posted two weeks ago includes some other documents. Jim Lorenzen of APRO sent John some clippings about winged cats (now unfortunately too faded to post here) and the relevant part of a letter from Prior Maximilian Hemsley Edwards. Edwards was an interesting character–he was a professor of linguistics at the University of Victoria, where he specialized in Rumanian, and he also contributed to the Flying Saucer Review. John promptly wrote him a letter. More next week!
Okay so about the time I figure that nothing John would be interested in would ever surprise me I see him writing to someone about “winged cats”. Now I have to reset my expectations! Thanks Doug.

You’ll have to read “Flying Felines,” the fourth chapter of Strange Creatures From Time and Space!

I remember him mentioning winged cats. You can find copies of the photos and clippings online. The “wings” were usually matted fur. Many winds conveniently “fell off” before veterinary examination.
