A cat that had been stuck in a tree for a week stepped on the wrong branch and went falling 80 feet to the ground.


'Piper' survived the long fall without any serious injuries.

The cat's owners, Rodney and Scottie Colvin, had been trying to get Piper down for a week, but nothing had worked.

On Monday, Piper stepped onto a weak limb that snapped and its owners watched in horror as their cat went tumbling straight down to the ground.
Their horror turned to relief when they discovered the cat was just fine.

Reminds me of the "buttered cat array" solution for perpetual energy.

See, a buttered piece of toast is always supposed to land butter side up.

A cat is always supposed to land on its feet.

So, butter a cat with generous portions of butter on its paws.

Drop from a standard, 10 foot ladder.

Just prior to landing on it's feet, the buttered toast principle will compel the cat to flip to its back. When it does, the cat-foot principle will compel the cat to complete the rotation so it's feet hit the ground first.

The two competing forces will cancel themselves out and will leave Fluffy suspended 10.2 inches from the groud, spinning in a continous tumble.

Simply hook up a belt and a generator to Mr. Pickles and generate enough power to cook a 17 lbs turkey and potatoes (8-10 of medium size).

Drop ten cats in such a manner and you can power an average house during peak hours of electricity usage.

You can thank me later.

I think we've discovered a new fuel source for my truck.

I can see it now...

"So, how many cats per miles does that truck of your get?"
