Cat abuse

Talk about whatever is on your mind, if it doesn't go anywhere else.

Odd, I expected a thread about this.

Considering the article's content, I don't think any animals were abused.
As soon as we wish to be happier, we are no longer happy.

My physics teacher in junior year gave us an assignment to read this article in a packet.. about cats falling from stories high and landing on their feet.

You know I've seen this kind of thing before quite a few times.
I think there are a number of people who hate cats on principle and want to kill and/or maim them.

I'm no animal freak, but that's sick.

Aha. This is one of the cool factoids I used to strike up conversations with friends in a boring physics class.

Needless to say, I no longer have any friends.

FINE THEN!


Right... On to the topic. Yeah... Although it's not the best science experiment; tossing a cat out the door of a Cessna...

Hahaha. Wasn't one of the first animals to travel on a hot air balloon a cat? Or something like that.

If God wanted cats to fly, he'd give them wings and put them on lolcats.
