Bart Jansen had Orville stuffed after he was hit by a car before enlisting the
help of radio control helicopter flier Arjen Beltman to build the unique pet/machine.
The Orvillecopter – "half cat, half machine" – is now on show at the Kunstrai art festival in Amsterdam, the Dutch capital.
Mr Jansen said after a period of mourning he decided to pay tribute to Orville with the art project.
The Orvillecopter does not fly quite right, but Mr Jansen said he will receive more powerful engines and larger propellers for his birthday, allowing for a more "steady flight".
He said Orville will soon be "flying with the birds".
