If I throw my cat out a 7th floor window...

[QUOTE="Cube_of_MooN"][QUOTE="hagadorn"][QUOTE="Cube_of_MooN"]

[QUOTE="hagadorn"]Apparently the terminal velocity of a cat is around 60mph and a cat falling at that speed and given enough time to react to the situation can land without injuring itself so no matter how high you dropped it from it would survive.hagadorn

Nope.

Thats not a counter argument, where is your evidence to support that it would die?

I get the feeling that if I threw a cat out of an airplane it would not survive. You did say any height, after all.

It most likely would survive, the height makes absolutely no difference to how much damage it will take, its all to do with speed and seeing as a cat can survive a fall at 60mph and its terminal velocity is 60mph then it will survive being dropped from any height as long as it has time to react and prepare itself, its just like flicking a spider from a table, that table is pretty damn high compared to the spider but its terminal velocity is so low that it will survive the fall.

I get the feeling that it would pass out mid flight, and not land on its feet, and thus, die.

There are tons of research on this already. Even saw something about it on Discovery (or was it NG). Just do some research instead of everyone just throwing in their assumptions.

Nope.

doesn't it just annoy you when you try to make a valid argument and someone simply responds with no, kinda kills the entire argument

That is based purely on the assumption that the cat would pass out, an assumption that lacks any evidence and, considering that humans jump out of areoplanes all the time and don't pass out, an assumption that is most likely invalid.

What's the best sized box for a cat?

About foot and a half long. They should need to scrunch up a little to fit inside.

I'm not sure. Would be interesting to test the whole, "Cats always land on their feet," theory. I wouldn't suggest doing it though.metallica_fan42

What's the best sized box for a cat?

Just tested 2 & 3 on all four of my cats. #2 (The box) Results. 75 percent success rate. Our oldest grouchiest, fattest, smartest cat just flipped the box over.

#3. 50% success. One cat just ignored it, the other (the fat one again) proceeded to attack me.

this isn't a question about whether they land on their feet, its about the terminal velocity of the can and whether it generates enough force to fatally injure the cat

I feel bad for their real lives then if they use the internet as a means to express their desperation, creepiness, or even their e-thugness.

Go re-read the original topic and re-read the links I posted. My links answer it all. Them landing on their feet co-relates to their suvival.

Lol sorry.

But naw, only for the ones who are blatant about it. I know we all got our issues and drama, and really I shouldnt feel bad and neither should you. Like I said, the internet is a good tool, but its not a tool to be exploited. Being on the internet does not give anyone the right to be a creep or a thug and being desperate on the internet is just as bad as being desperate in real life.

Hmm, maybe the fact that I'm using a translucent box is a factor?

It would die, and if you did that so would you...mysteriously...by the dark brotherhood.

it is true that they do fly down saftley from that hieght

i suggest you try it

Would it survive? I say it'd go splat but Braindead_hero says they open their arms and legs and (I quote) "sail down".

I thought it was only those flying squirrels that could do that...

He seems pretty sure about it though so what do you think OT?

It won't die..I threw once a stray kitten from my friend's condo at the 14th floor..it didn't die..It just limped to shelter and is now my friend's cat in the house..We were testing if the "Cats has 9 lives" was true... Vancelvany

your a horrible person! Would you like someone throwing you out of a building to see if you had more than one life? Didnt bloody think so.

man, why'd you bump this thread?

This spawned alot of fad threads when it was first posted lol.

I was about to say...geez tofu you want to kill your cat??... the 7th floor is pretty high im thinking dead cat....

but this cat survived http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNMVm6qHFZU

It loses one life for each floor, that's how cat's were engineeredesb1118

So it survives! Case closed, I'm trying it!
