Cool!
If my wife ever sees this video, that guy is a dead man walking.
Cat: So what? Time for my nap.
Cat: Are you still here to bug me ?
Cat: You are so pitiful. Go be a human elsewhere.
Cat: snooze ……
This is a pretty zoned out cat. Just another day in the park!
Only humans will put human emotions on animals. For this cat, it is no problem. It can do it with a blindfold (Almost).

Reminds me of a segment of the TV program “You Asked For It” from the early 60’s. They were asking the same cat question except they drop a cat from a low flying, very slow speed Piper Cub. Yep, 4-leg landing every time. Can’t do that today because the Animals-are-more human people than evil humans are Liberal crowd would burn down the station, but execute the person dropping the cat.
Bread always lands butter side down, as well.
So if they attached buttered bread to the back of the cat and toss it in the air…
perpetual motion!!!
