Holy shit I was losing my shit when I opened the video before anything even happened! This is just hilarious! Poor kitty though.

Sail!

[–]ponaaan 3 points4 points ago

Everyone who wonders, the cat fell from the second floor "2階のベランダからの逃亡ダイビング失敗 着地後は無事だったようで走り去って行きました。" wich means "Failure of diving escape from the veranda of the second floor Ran off after landing went in as was safe." according to google translate. Original video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5WJmxi3vYRU

Happy to find out.

For a cat, a fall from the second floor is absolutely no problem.

Now I can enjoy the gif without worry.

For the most part, I'm pretty understanding when it comes to reposts, but fucking really?

[–]DangerDasha 1 point2 points ago

I feel SO BAD that I laughed! Poor kitty!

[–]Rhythmic[S] 0 points1 point ago

The kitty is just fine.

Enjoy your laugh.

[–]TheEclectic 1 point2 points ago

He tried jumping to freedom without the rope.

[–]Nutmegh 1 point2 points ago

You just reposted one of my favorite gifs. Not sure if I should be happy or mad...

[–]SupermanV2 -1 points0 points ago

I watched that repeatedly and still can't come up for a reason why he tried to make that jump.

I don't think the "cats always land on their feet" applies 40 stories up.

[–]Rhythmic[S] -5 points-4 points ago

He wanted to get to the other side. Kinda did.

Didn't account for the slippery surface.

Cats trust their ability to jump.

[–]happlepaff 0 points1 point ago

No way. I know cats can take pretty high falls with little damage, but I don't believe that they could fall 40 stories. 7 or 8, maybe. Not 40.

[–]Oelund 0 points1 point ago

A cat reaches terminal velocity after about 10 meters. So there shouldn't be any difference between 8 and 40 stories. The velocity would be just around 100km/h in any case (less than half that of a falling human).

[–]happlepaff 0 points1 point ago

really? Okay, forget I said anything. I assumed the terminal velocity was much higher, but parachuting meant they just took longer to reach it.

[–]Oelund 0 points1 point ago

Terminal velocity is the maximum velocity you'll achieve at any fall distance. It is the gravitational pull vs your weight and your wind resistance.

If something is heavy and tiny it'll have a faster terminal velocity than something that is light and big, because there is more mass for the gravity to pull on and less surface area to act as wind resistance.

What a parachute does is that it gives you a huge surface area for wind resistance. reducing your terminal velocity from 200+km/h (terminal velocity of a human) to about 20km/h.

Falling any further wouldn't increase your velocity, since terminal velocity is the speed where the upward force of the wind resistance equals the downward pull of gravity.

[–]Rhythmic[S] -4 points-3 points ago

Many years ago, our cat fell off the third story and survived.

She was pregnant at the time, but had no problems. She had her kittens at the appropriate time with no complications ...

But 40 stories are a different story aren't they ...

[–]Rhythmic[S] -1 points0 points ago

OK, all-clear. Kitty's fine.
