Toonces... the skydiving cat?!

Recommended Posts

Okay. We had the skydiving dog (blue skies to his owner).

Maybe, just maybe, the time has come for the skydiving cat. I'm sure someone could find something creative to make from spandex...

Yep, that's what I want to do. Strap a scared cat into some harness and put it in my jumpsuit, then jump out of a plane with it!!!

It would be soooo much easier to just tie it in a bag and play kick the can...JK, I would not do that.

Once the plane takes off, you're gonna have to land - Might as well jump out!!

No! Just think of the adrenaline! This is much more dangerous than setting fire to your open canopy with a flare... now you have a cat that might get loose and start climbing up your lines, over your face, etc...

Hmm.... maybe the cat gets its own deployment PC and ripcord. Should the cat get too contentious you could jettison the cat and let it float safely to the ground, unless it lands in the backyard of a kennel....

Well....perhaps you've heard of perpetual motion? You know how cats always land on their feet. And buttered bread always lands buttered side down. Just strap that buttered bread, buttered side down, on the cat's belly and he'll never land! Hence perpetual motion! ;)

Hi,

For all you "youngsters" out there I'd better post this link:

http://members.aol.com/lschatz111/bsfs.html


And a couple of teasers from the book:

"No Beast alive could scratch like a cat in freefall. That was part of it, the sheer insanity of six adults chasing a cat through the sky at speeds in excess of 120 mph.

There had been moves to have the cats de-clawed. "To make it safer," they said. But they were outsiders. They never really understood the sport.

There were very few human fatalities in the sport. The cats did not fare as well. The ones that fought the hardest and scratched the most, refusing to be caught only got one freefall. Those cats went in. And yes, they almost always landed on their feet."

And:

"Of course Cat Chasing was first. Then the CRW folks adapted it to their sport. They called it Cat Tossing, becaust that's precisely what it was. Two or Three canopies would have a dogfight, actually a cat fight, in which they would dive at one another, tossing cats at their opponent's canopy.

Every once in a while some fool would toss a de-clawed cat by mistake.

Cat tossing did wonders for alleviating the overcrowded conditions at pet shelters. Suddenly people were coming in and adopting a dozen or more cats, sometimes twice a day.

Authorities were called in when local residents complained that it was "raining cats".
"You mean cats and dogs?"
"Nope, just cats."

Official organisations disavowed any connection with Cat Tossing, Cat Chasing or anything else a skydiver might do with a small animal."


You'll have to get the book to find out about Rocco Van Zant, Hellfire Harry and Roy Sweeney.

Why spoil the cat with a bag!!!!!

Whoa-

Speaking of... I have been thru this already. My little cat - Miss Cleo, was going to go...

It goes like this....

.....a clear liter bottle from a soft drink. Something soft inside glued to the bottom.

Place feline inside and go skydiving....

Works for kittens. If you have a 20 lbs cat like Slappie... You are on your own.
