I'm not sure if the cat is being moved by the wind or flailing in panic.

PsychedelicSpaghetti		2008-03-14 11:16:42 AM

I'd say "panic."

I wish they had a camera on the cat while he was in the air. I bet that cat shiat himself all the way down the ground.

I'm just disappointed this wasn't used for the Caturday thread. Much more interesting than the typical caturday crap.

That would be some of the best video ever. Did you notice how there were boots on the cats feet, so when it freaked out it wouldn't claw the shiat out of the old guy?

TravelingFreakshow		2008-03-14 12:04:25 PM

Poor cat, he looks terrified.

UberDave		2008-03-14 12:39:25 PM

My cat would have been going berserk from the get-go. And when we got on the ground, it would claw me in the testicles.

SpaceyCat		2008-03-14 01:06:23 PM

I really hope that cat craps in everything now. If it survived the trauma.

Epiphany		2008-03-14 01:34:46 PM

TravelingFreakshow
Yeah since when is mental trauma not abuse?

gorgor		2008-03-14 01:34:47 PM

Wonder how much pee went into the guys face on the way down?

squealie		2008-03-14 01:34:47 PM

If this had happened here PETA would have been outraged!
/two cents says the guy had been nipping the vodak prior to the jump

AeroBrewer		2008-03-14 01:35:08 PM

Why do people do things like this? It's not like the animal has sufficient sentience to appreciate what its just expereienced... It's like taking a dog scuba diving... chock full of dumb.

FunkOut		2008-03-14 01:35:14 PM

For his next jump, he should try a rabid badger on PCP experiencing UFIA.

Cashew		2008-03-14 01:35:21 PM

Depends on how many of his nine lives he's spent.

badgerv		2008-03-14 01:35:48 PM

I hopes this is noes invisible parachutez

dogfood		2008-03-14 01:35:58 PM

Cats just love doin' shiat like that.

Travis McGee		2008-03-14 01:36:50 PM

Whatever the cat equivalent of "WHAT!? WHAT!?" is, it was no doubt going through that cat's head.

tuna fingers		2008-03-14 01:36:56 PM

That's the worst "old man jumps on pussy" video I've seen today. But I'll keep you posted.

AeroBrewer		2008-03-14 01:37:10 PM

Forgot to ask, did the cat land on its feet?

donk the honkey		2008-03-14 01:38:23 PM

well, they wrapped his claws up, probably put a diaper on him too.

Not enough.

Few parachutists arrive back on the ground smelling of cat piss. This guy is an exception.

skinink		2008-03-14 01:40:44 PM

Jeebus, is that how Russians airbrush p*ssy?

Korangulation		2008-03-14 01:41:13 PM

PSA: if you own a pet, please, please, PLEASE do not involve it in stupid attention-whoring stunts such as this one. You have a choice, the pet does not.

gorgor: Wonder how much pee went into the guys face on the way down?

Plenty. It was all his, though.

iamnin69		2008-03-14 01:41:34 PM

That video cracked me up. Especially when the cat had NO idea whats going on, and then when it sees the door and they are about to jump it starts to panic and going all crazy.

Btw i think i saw like mittens on the cats feet but no protection for its head. Its kinda cold up there.

Gridlock		2008-03-14 01:42:19 PM

The cat seems a tad agitated.

gorgor		2008-03-14 01:42:39 PM

Oh it does look like they did. Still would be funny him squinting but can't get away :)

darcibetha		2008-03-14 01:42:49 PM

As much as I wish my cat would spend more time with me...

This is not the way to accomplish that. Poor thing was terrified.

/I still lol'd a little though

IkonOlator		2008-03-14 01:44:59 PM

What kind of a name is Malish for a cat?!

AlwaysRightBoy		2008-03-14 01:45:01 PM

The cat looked a bit alarmed going up towards the door...but not as apeshiat terrified as I would have expected. The way the wind hit it and pulled his head over was awful, though.

All in all, a dickish idea for gramps.

If it happened on this website?

Oh, I dunno'. There might be few dogs out there that would just love to go scuba diving. They like going for rides in cars, don't they?

dragonchild		2008-03-14 01:51:48 PM

I disagree with xanadian's and tortilla burger's takes on it. The look on the cat's face told me, "WTF? WTF?? WTF???? ZOMGNOFARKINGWAY!!"

Kyle1528		2008-03-14 01:52:24 PM

I hope he put a diaper on the poor thing or I bet he got a mouthful of unpleasantness because more than likely the cat go so scared it crapped itself.

dragonchild: I disagree with xanadian's and tortilla burger's takes on it. The look on the cat's face told me, "WTF? WTF?? WTF???? ZOMGNOFARKINGWAY!!"

The cat looked surprisingly calm right up until it was in the doorway. Then it began to look very worried indeed.

Corvusnex		2008-03-14 01:53:51 PM

Cruelty to animals FTW!

Nightenstaff		2008-03-14 01:54:21 PM

I'd think the cat would flail around like it did, regardless of jumping out of a plane, while strapped to an old man's chest.

The natural reaction for a cat falling it to spin around and land on its sternum. Being that it couldn't spin in a natural way was probably far more terrifying for it than the fall itself.

lalala_machine		2008-03-14 01:54:58 PM

Poor kitty. :(

zulushaka		2008-03-14 01:55:55 PM

Curiously enough, the only thing that went through the mind of the cat as it fell was Oh no, not again. Many people have speculated that if we knew exactly why the cat had thought that, we would know a lot more about the nature of the universe than we do now.

CTEPBA		2008-03-14 01:56:35 PM

IkonOlator: Malish means "little one". A couple of jumps like that he will never grow up, I think...

dikfishman		2008-03-14 01:56:43 PM

The look on that cat's face. It knew it was in deep shiat. I loved it, I laughed until i had tears in my eyes.

+1. I lol'd.

FunkOut		2008-03-14 01:57:44 PM

Holy crap. I just realized the old man was testing the "cats always land on their feet" theory.

I wonder if he buttered his back beforehand.

/doesn't think kitty's ears liked the howling noise
//cats actually have better hearing than dogs in the high range
