They're beautiful (and well fed!) Mr. Insomnio is always on the fat side. I feed him measured cups of low calorie catfood to keep him thin and stil gets fat. He was thin before neuturing though. I am moving back to the city to an apartment next week so he'll get fatter. -- Eduardo K. | Darwin pone las reglas. http://www.carfun.cl | Murphy, la oportunidad. http://e.nn.cl | | Yo. |

Cat in plane
So, are you saying that the cat was justified in its actions?
The cat was scared to death, and was acting like a cat that was scared to death. It didn't deserve to be killed. True enough. But I'm not exactly sure what else the pilot in question could do in that situation. You can't safely land a plane with a cat shredding your skin like a scratching post. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

: death. It didn't deserve to be killed. In case it's any consolation, a cat getting chucked out a window of a flying aircraft is not necessarily dead: http://ffden-2.phys.uaf.edu/211.web....l_velocity.htm http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a5_190.html http://www.cat-olholics.com/cats-lan...heir-feet.html And yes... I am a cat person... -Cory -- ************************************************** *********************** * Cory Papenfuss * * Electrical Engineering candidate Ph.D. graduate student * * Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University * ************************************************** *********************** |

You can't safely land a plane with a cat shredding your skin like a
scratching post. Yes you can. You just have to grit your teeth and bare it. And you have done this, how many times??? |

Bare what? BTW - I did take a cat on an airplane trip once (in a carrier) Just a weekend jaunt of about three hours each way. The cat howled most of the way - but fortunately we couldn't hear it over the noise of the airplane (all wearing headphones). David Johnson |

Drop them all over a field with observers and log how many escaped unscathed, how many looked like gooey blobs and how many survived un-injured. This way meaningful data could be obtained. The test might have to be repeated any of the cats missed the target field. I would be happy to contribute the cats in my neighbor hood that crap under my deck, in my flower beds, scratch my car by climbing on it, howl under my bed room window, invade my motorhome as soon as I leave a window open, etc. Cheers: Paul |

The B-17's I've seen don't usually have doors or separations between the bomb bay area and the rest of the plane. There is a cat walk through the bomb bay... Can 500 cats fit in a bomb bay area? Seriously, I don't recommend dropping animals for testing. As for carrying cats in a plane, I would only do it with cat carrier. -Greg B. |
