fucking cats

I like how the cats first instinct was to alert the humans and not jump out. If it's smart enough to know the humans were responsible for its predicament I can only imagine wtf it was thinking when it realized how high it was.

What type of aircraft is that?

Good question Xeros, i'm glad that you ask. Close inspection of the fuselage points to it being an F35 Lightning, the US Marine version if i'm not mistaken. You're welcome.

the US can't afford missiles so a cat it be

That's what you think, but in secret, these cats are autonomous robots that can be airdropped into enemy territory and wreak havoc there.

we could also use squirrels that are GPS guided

Really? It looks like some kind gyrocopter. Thanks for the clarification...

and here was me thinking this would be the one place on the internet I wouldn't see this

thanks, q3wbama

then again, it was worth it for this top quality piece of sheer bullshittery

Also, due to recent studies and theories of feline vision, I'm not sure the cat would be entirely aware that it was a great distance above the ground. Things the human eye can resolve sharply at 100-200 feet appear blurry to cats. The same object would become clear to a cat at a distance of around 20 feet.
Therefore, if the cat were to jump off of the wing, its demise would only clarify well past the point of terminal velocity.

I'd go as far as to say it's not really the raw ability of our visual mechanism... most of our stereoscopic abilities probably fail within a few feet or so... the only thing that keeps us from losing all perspective, is our ability to use objects as points of reference. for example, if we knew what tree we were looking at, then we could use its size to guestimate just how far it really is. Now all this is happening subconciously and u only really notice the end result which is some percieved notion of depth... after 50 feet or so (if not less!) I really doubt our stereoscopic vision has anything to do with our ability to objectify distances.

How much does intellingence vs raw instinctive processing play a part in figuring all this I'm not really sure, but I'd bet we have a much better understanding of visual distances than any other animal.

so what i'm trying to say is, even if a cat had the same visual abilities as we do, that might not be enough to judge just how high that plane was.

I've read that some cats will survive their terminal velocity. I've personally seen a cat jump down from a 3rd floor before.

so, remissive velocity then.

Fucking cat. I would have just grabbed it and thrown it into the air.

it was already in the air

Good one.

its a fascinating fact, you could be throwing cats from airplanes and 90% will survive, minor injuries mostly because they only get to like 80-90kmh.

beats a fireworks show if you ask me

better then flying frogs from Magnolia

Knowing cats, it would land on its feet and walk away indignantly.

it would first lick its tail or something, like nohing happened in the first place.

Cat with buttered toast: endless energy source

I guess the cat would have survived the fall from this height with maybe a broken bone.
