So, I just saw this video for the first time today, and I was mortified! I mean, I know this guy was just trying to pull an innocent prank, but I really think he crossed the line. Seriously, my pets are like my babies... I would have killed him! What do you guys think?
Even if he used the real cat, he would've survived (but probably with some injuries). Did you know the higher the fall the less chances a cat can get injured? :) For a cat there is no difference between falling from 8 stories or 100 stories because after reaching terminal velocity their body acts like a parachute. Time for some fun facts about cats:
"In addition to the righting reflex cats have a number of other features that will reduce damage from a fall. Their small size, light bone structure, and thick fur decrease their terminal velocity. Furthermore, once righted they may also spread out their body to increase drag and slow the fall to some extent. A falling cat's terminal velocity is 100 km/h (60 mph) whereas that of a falling man in a "free fall position" is 210 km/h (130 mph). At terminal velocity they also relax as they fall, which protects them to some extent on impact. However, it has been argued that, after having reached terminal velocity, cats would orient their limbs horizontally such that their body hits the ground first."
"Of 132 cats that were brought into the New York Animal Medical Center after having fallen from buildings, it was found that the injuries per cat increased depending on the height fallen up to seven stories, but decreased above seven stories. The study authors speculated that after falling five stories the cats reached terminal velocity and thereafter relaxed and spread their bodies to increase drag."
You're welcome. :)

She should arrange for 5 big guys to come to the house, two in the living room to stop him when he enters, 3 in the bedroom acting out a wild sex scene and the two in the livingroom demanding the rule is he has to pay before he goes back, it's been like this for years.
that would show him.
That's nothing compared to this one, I'm not even sure if this one is even legal.
That was hilarious.
But seriously, I know those youtubers.
They play pranks on each other on the time.
She should be on high alert by now!
I would have been SO freaking mad! There's a fine line between funny and cruel, and this jerk totally crossed it. Wow.
I would have been pissed!! That's so cruel!! I love cats. Sick joke -_-
Uh, no, I would not be okay with those kinds of jokes.
I find humor in a LOT of things, but this sort of thing isn't funny to me.
Both this one with the cat and the one with the child is obviously not ok, they pray on others getting hurt or in chock.
