Angel Memorial Hospital (Veterinary) in NYC has kept data on cats that have fallen from high rise apartments. The raw data of cats that have taken the high dive was over 1000 and that was back in the early 1980’s. Cats don't start breaking bones until the third or fourth floor and rarely survive 9 floor dives. Rarely were cats injured from the second floor. There was a very in depth study performed and published in the JAVMA.

Not only is tossing a cat off a balcony cruel to the cat, it could be very harmful to people trying to relax nearly naked in a pool.

MNDude, you're lucky (and I'm sorry) you didn't get the snot beaten out of you, or had to pay damages to someone scarred for life from that poor cat's scratching them.

Why you admitted such behavior on a public forum is far beyond my understanding. You should be ashamed of that, not bragging about it.

I'll add to the silly cat stuff.

Below is a text messaging session. The victim here is an idiot who posted his phone number on Facebook asking ANYONE to call him because he was bored. Hilarity ensues.

You couldn’t make a better choice. They’re gentle giants.

My Rocket is a runt, only 18 pounds in his heyday, but he has always been a sweetheart. Even veterinary assistants love him. He has never intentionally bitten or scratched anyone.
