Would you like to be thrown out of the window too?

The sarcasm is lost amongst many

Thank you #46, I was being sarcastic.

I don't think people on this app understand sarcasm.

Internet or not, the sarcasm was blatantly obvious.

I also think herd mentality leads people to down voting already hidden comments and such

2 stories???

2 stories is not very high for a cat falling wise, their bodies are pretty much made for surviving high drops. However there is still no way in hell someone should be throwing a living animal out of a window no matter the circumstances.

#65 look up how cats falling works with air resistance. Obviously if they fall less than like 8 feet, they should be fine. And we know that they can survive very big falls. However, there is actually a point in between where the cat can get hurt or die.. I think that point is usually 2-4 stories. The reason is that cats have a mechanism to reduce their terminal velocity while falling, but a lot of times they can't get into position to do that by the time a 2 or 3 story fall is over, so that can actually kill them.

so it would be okay to do that to an animal that wasn't so adorable?

because you can believe everything you read on the internet right. the internet would say "cats always land on their feet" that doesn't mean it'll always happen.

30, while I agree that you can't believe everything you read online, what I think 3 meant was you could probably find someone else who has already done it and posted the proof. I guarantee you that someone has posted a YouTube video of them dropping their cat out of a window.

yeah I'm sure it would be titled killing the pussy.

*keep an eye on the cat meow

@10 No.

#11 yea

#26 Maybe.

Sometimes.

Always

only on tuesdays

Oh my gosh i totally get it now. cats must have a hive mind or something. ;) but really. they just ain't got time for our shit. they got bathing and petting and hairballs to hack. man that's a busy day

He would probably try it.

For science of course

Even then the momentum of the fall would be enough to severely injured or killed the cat. Just because the cat lands on their feet, doesn't mean they'll survive.

There isn't a limit actually. The cat might die during the fall if you drop it from like the top of the atmosphere, sure, but look up how cats falling works with terminal velocity. Obviously a small height won't hurt them, as it's too short for them to reach terminal velocity anyway. And if it's tall enough, they have time to do a certain thing that reduces their terminal velocity (sort of like a parachute, just not quite as effective). However, if it's tall enough that they can reach terminal velocity, and short enough that they don't have time to lower their terminal velocity, they can die.

@69 so in short speak what you're telling me is cats are superman and their weaknesses are very limited. :)

Sort of. They just need a few seconds to animorph into superman/supercat before they hit the ground :)

this has made me wabt to try an experiment for once
