My roommates were convinced someone in our neighborhood was trying to kill their dogs, because there were strange piles of food in the alleyway near us. Besides the several other dozen dogs and cats living around us

a guy i work with went home a few weeks ago and heard a cat in his stairwell that i guess had wandered up to his floor? or someone had left it there? i dunno, he lives on the 50th story, no idea how it got there. he loves cats, he has two, and while it was meow-ing in the hallway a guy from his floor came out, picked up the cat, and threw it out the window of their hallway. can't imagine the cat made it after falling 50 stories, the guy was crushed at work the next day.

The cat probably survived, cats reach terminal velocity pretty quick, and theirs is approx. 60 mph versus the 120 or so a human would reach. Survival rates are also really good the higher up a cat is, because it gives them more time to right themselves and spread their limbs out, etc. Can't blame the guy from being bummed, though, it's a hell of a thing to do to an animal.

Do cats in China not have 9 lives?
|
# ? Sep 17, 2016 05:49 |
they do but they get exhausted pretty quick when the cat gets strung up on a chain and they take a blow torch to them. good eats tho.

Survival rates are also really good the higher up a cat is, because it gives them more time to right themselves and spread their limbs out, etc. I can't remember where I read this, but an article indicated that the whole 'the higher up the better the cat's chances' thing came from flawed data. Basically low heights the cat just walks away (ok no surprise) and a few go to the vet, from medium heights some go to the vet and some die. From extreme heights most die and a few go to the vet and live. So the guy doing the study just uses vet data, and concludes that high altitude cats survive better because less of them go to the vet, ignoring those that are just dead and get scraped into a the rubbish. I mean, by the 60km/hr logic you can shovel a bunch of cats out of a plane at 3000m and they'll have the same survivability as a cat that falls out of a 8 story window. Anyone have a Cessna we can borrow?

Cats do have different terminal velocities than larger animals and many smaller animals never make it to a high enough speed that they die from impact.

Outrail posted:I mean, by the 60km/hr logic you can shovel a bunch of cats out of a plane at 3000m and they'll have the same survivability as a cat that falls out of a 8 story window. Anyone have a Cessna we can borrow? He took four stray cats up in a pillowcase for the jump. After exiting the plane, he turned the pillowcase inside out, releasing the cats. To his great surprise, all four cats attached themselves to his body immediately. With their claws. Given that cats have 18 claws each, he was punctured at least 72 times. More, probably, because he struggled vainly to remove the cats as he fell, but they were having none of it, and would reattach with even more conviction with every effort he made to pull them off. Presently, he was out of altitude, and had to turn his attention to opening the chute. Let’s pause to do some math. A chute opening can generate as much as 3 Gs of force. The average cat weighs 8 lbs at 1 G. At three Gs, this becomes 24 lbs per cat. So when the chute opened, for a moment this guy had 72 razor sharp claws in his skin, each one being pulled down with a force of about one and a third pounds. That’s 96 pounds of cat. He was sliced to ribbons, basically. All four cats hung on through the chute opening, although the skydiver’s shredded flesh allowed each one to slip several inches. Bleeding and in misery, the skydiver managed to make a safe, if rather rough, landing in a farm field. As soon as he hit the earth, all four cats ran off across the field, leaving him to lie there bleeding from his hundred or so wounds. He was the only member of the skydiving club that was displeased with the results of his experiment."

P-Mack posted:"My dad was a skydiver back in the sixties. There was a guy in his club that was a nut. He had the idea that he could test the axiom that “cats always land on their feet” from free fall altitude, where he would fall with them and observe their self-righting behavior. He had no interest in aiding their descent, just wanted to see how they behaved in free fall. In his plan, landing was the cats’ problem, not his. Scientific impartiality, or some such thing. Things that never happened for 400 Alex

http://basketballbuddha.com/allen-iverson-trip-to-china-ruined-by-chinese-agents/quote:Iverson, Abdur-Rahim, and the rest of the crew got back to the hotel in Xi’An only to see government officials still present. David Lee, who was working with Li Dong negotiate side deals with local promoters was being detained in a small room next to the front desk of the hotel. Li Dong was there too, but wasn’t locked in a room. So Li Dong and Abdur-Rahim had a meeting discussing the current status of the tour. “Li Dong said he was going to give Iverson $10,000 a minute, but maximum five minutes so $50,000 per game. This time I was very direct with Li Dong, I told him, ‘Li it’s not about the money. It’s about doing things the right way. We had a contract. Iverson wants to spend some times here with his family and be with his fans in China. That’s it. It’s not about the money’,” said Abdur-Rahim.
