Every time I see this picture, it makes me feel REALLY uneasy.

[–]Ktkeenan 13 points14 points ago

I second this. It's not common for a picture to make me so uneasy but when it does, it's a cute cat on balcony.

[–]Stettman 19 points20 points ago

It only makes me uneasy because planking is so 2000 and late

    (The pilot was so amazed he flew up to the same height the next week with a stray and this time intentionally dropped it. It ran off into the woods. Bets were then placed and the following week another pilot took off, this time with two cats, and dropped them both, but they both died.)

      is there a 'making of' series that shows kitty is relatively safe in that position?

      [–]CrazyEve 59 points60 points ago

      Its not safe at all, there is no safety net or something alike. I dont have any other perspective that shows you the look down, but here is the cat during the day:

      I would have a heart attack if one of my fatties got on that ledge. They can't even handle staying on a window sill!

      [–]suace 26 points27 points ago

      I know! I watched my fatty try to jump from the back of the couch to the fireplace mantle a few days ago. I had to run over and grab her back legs and help her up, she did one of those I'M GONNA MAKE I'M GONNA MAKE OH SHIT I DIDN'T MAKE IT things. I think she'd just fall right off that rail and end up a pile of marshmellow pudding, because she's my white marshmellow cat.

      I understand. I have to take mucinex daily with what seems like gallons of water so I can have my cat, Luisa Maria. But, it is all worth it. Also, she gets a haircut each month. Nothing better than a shaved cat

      WHITE MARSHMALLOW CAT!!!!

      [–]sanders420 1 point2 points ago

      This made me laugh out loud. Brought back fond memories of finding my cat ass up in the air wedged between the back of the couch and the wall!

      [–]suace 1 point2 points ago

      No! That's too funny, I can totally picture my kitty in that situation.

      My sister had a fat Persian when we were kids. It's name was Pooky, and Pooky was stupid. Pooky didn't know how to meow, and I watched Pooky run straight into a wall at full speed twice while playing chase with the other house cat. The other cat turned, Pooky just kept going straight until BAM!

      One day, my mom asked "Where's Pooky?" We realized no one had seen Pooky all day so we begin hunting. After 30 mins I start opening up crazy shit, the fridge, the oven, all the cupboards, and my Mom starts yelling at me to stop, there is no way Pooky could be in there. That's when I spun the lazy susan cupboard opened and there was Pooky, wide awake, just sitting there looking up at us. She didn't even care, she just kept sitting there. I had to pick her up and take her out. Turns out my Mom had put something in there that morning, Pooky sneaks in, and just...just sits there waiting. Dumbest cat ever, and I love kitties.

      [–]unholymackerel 2 points3 points ago

      [–]torankusu 5 points6 points ago

      This makes me so nervous. A cat in my old apartment building fell from a balcony on the 20th floor.

      [–]iLikeToBiteMyNails 2 points3 points ago

      My cat used to do this. Instead of falling she would get onto the neighbours balcony and leave a nice turd surprise before coming back safe and sound.

      [–]k4713k 1 point2 points ago

      I'm sorry for your loss.

      [–]torankusu 3 points4 points ago

      Thank you for your kind comment, but it wasn't any of my cats. It was another person in the building. It's still very sad, though. :(

      [–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

      Did it die? I'm not being facetious, I've heard cats can pretty easily survive really high falls. Something about their terminal velocity being low for how bendy they are, or something.

      [–]torankusu 0 points1 point ago

      I actually wasn't living there yet and my roommate told me about it when I moved in. I sent a PM to her on facebook, but she hasn't gotten back to me yet.

        The amazing part is he jumped up from the left.

        [–]junkit33 3 points4 points ago

        It's a cat. By definition it's relatively safe on a ledge. Cats don't often fall by accident.

        [–]MikielJackson 4 points5 points ago

        No, they just hop off the deep end if even relatively startled (or if they see a bird, or something).

        [–]junkit33 0 points1 point ago

        Like I said, relatively.

        [–]skoh 3 points4 points ago

        Well, not by definition. But yes, cats are good with ledges.

        [–]mx354774 1 point2 points ago

        You do know cats can fall right?

        [–]CrazyEve 0 points1 point ago

        Yeah, but its not my cat, so there is not much I can do about it.

        [–]s8teh3ay 0 points1 point ago*

        Do you have more of this series? The original shot was my mobile wallpaper for ages, it was really versatile as I can know where I'm scrolling through my android windows and be able to determine the fate of this cat. Even if you could post more photos of this cat. That'll be great.
        edit: spelling, grammar.

        [–]CrazyEve 0 points1 point ago

        I have some others, but nothing as good as this one. I also did not process any other shots, so not too spectacular.

        thank you!

        [–]LincolnshireSausage 0 points1 point ago

        My cat used to do the same thing. I wasn't quite as high up as you but high enough to kill the cat if it fell. Sometimes it would hop out of the living room window on to a ledge that was less than 2 inches wide, walk about 20 feet out on this ledge and sit there all day watching everything go past. Eventually it would come back inside. The first time he did it it scared the crap out of me.

          The balcony in question looks like its at least 15-20 stories high, if you value your cat dont over estimate its ability to balance itself... I work at a highrise building and the other day had to watch as someone scraped their cat of the pavement after it fell 29 stories... they will NOT land on their feet, or if they do, they will die....

          [–]TheJVH 2 points3 points ago

          He would probably die, but if the cat is a falling-champion, the cat might survive...

          [–]CrazyEve -1 points0 points ago

          Not always, look up "high rise syndrome"

          [–]td888 11 points12 points ago

          Well... my cat fell twice from a four story building. She did survive both times but going through the emotions of trying to find your cat and realising she fell from the balcony I wish to nobody.

          I found her back on the street, hiding in the tire of a car. She had a bloody fur, and looked really messed up. After the vet checked her out, she only had some bruises and cuts, but no internal bleedings or anything broken.

          Guess she was lucky, but burned through 8 of her 9 lives. She is not allowed on the terrace anymore, unless I am watching.

          [–]YawnSpawner 0 points1 point ago

          I am buying a condo on the 10th floor with a cat door to the porch, is there any way to make it safe?

          [–]dicer999 0 points1 point ago

          Just reduce risk of it being near the balcony for a long time. Most cats have a non lethal terminal velocity.

          [–]kakuna 2 points3 points ago

          I did. Here are a few Wikipedia quotes:

          In reference to the belief that cats falling from great heights show less injuries than from some lower heights:

          *1. Another possible explanation for this phenomenon would be the fact that cats who die in falls are less likely to be brought to a veterinarian than injured cats, and thus many of the cats killed in falls from higher buildings are not reported in studies of the subject.

          A more recent study of the "high rise syndrome" with more common sense outcomes:

          *2. In a more recent study it has been observed that cats falling from higher places would suffer more severe injuries.

          And in reference to the cats not landing on their feet from high distances:

          *3. However, it has been argued that, after having reached terminal velocity, cats would orient their limbs horizontally such that their body hits the ground first.

          I'm going to back Vwlulz's experience here.

          [–]szchm 1 point2 points ago

          If you've reached terminal velocity, you're basically fucked unless you're the size of an ant. Maybe the horizontal manoeuvre does mitigate some of the injury, but if the cat is falling from a 20-story building, it's going to be the difference between 250% dead and 230% dead.

          [–]Sacrefix 0 points1 point ago

          Cats have a terminal velocity of 60 mph, and scientists have suggested that a cat could reduce this speed to 53 mph by spreading out, and therefore survive some impressive falls.

          [–]Kwyjibo47 -3 points-2 points ago

          "cats that fell from 9 or more stories suffered fewer injuries than those falling from lower heights" http://animals.howstuffworks.com/pets/domestic-cat-info5.htm

          [–]vwlulz 10 points11 points ago

          I assure you the one that I saw being peeled off the pavement suffered significant injuries seeing as it you know... died and all.

          [–]Galivis 3 points4 points ago

          The numbers is slightly misleading because those that fell from the higher heights more often died and were not reported.

          [–]Sacrefix 0 points1 point ago

          That may be true, but it is ultimately conjecture.

              With the legs pointed downward, the cat then spreads its legs so that its body forms a sort of parachute that increases air resistance.

              I used to leave my second floor balcony door open for my cats to hang out, until one of them realized he could jump off and not get hurt. He ran away 2-3 times this way.

              [–]ebneter 0 points1 point ago

              Second floor is nothing for a cat, as long as it's jumping rather than falling. (I knew a cat that broke its leg falling ~6 ft onto concrete, but it fell rather than jumped.)

              When I was growing up I had a Norwegian forest cat who would climb through the ventilation in the air conditioner and then jump onto the ledge of my terrace( I live on the 33rd floor in a Manhattan building) and lie down with his arms hanging over the edge. The anxiety of trying to coax a cat off the ledge is not something I will soon forget.

              Reminds me of a dumbass cat I used to have that liked to sit on railings. Fortunately this one was only overlooking the living room, and not off a multistory dropoff.

              She decided to chase her tail. While on top of a railing. She fell off. Only about ten feet or so though, wound up fine.

              No Cats Were Harmed in the Taking of This Picture.

              [–]szchm 0 points1 point ago

              Yeah, it'd be at least like 8 seconds after taking the picture before the cat was harmed, if you consider air resistance.

              [–]thegimboid 0 points1 point ago

              This picture terrifies me.

              The only nightmare I've had in the past several years has been of my cat falling from my balcony (I live on the 18th floor).
              The thing is, that even if he survived the first drop with broken legs or something, he would land on the roof that's below me, then tumble from that.

              I used to have a roommate who went out on the balcony often to smoke. I hated that guy, not only because he ended up leaving while owing over $1000, but also because he kept leaving the balcony door open.

              Tips cat over the edge. Hahaha, let us see you land on your feet now!

              [–]Kredns 0 points1 point ago

              Cats have a good chance of not dieing if they are high enough in the air. This is true because cats don't have a true terminal velocity. They'll probably be badly injured, but should have a good chance of living.

              omg i can´t view such pics since my cat fall/jumped from my balkony, she´s still alive but has a broken leg which is twisted even after surgery :'(

              [–]ekmpdx 0 points1 point ago

              That cat is demonstrating the exact reason my cats aren't allowed out on the balcony. My last apt in LA was on the 12th floor and it had this wonderful 40ft long deck. First (and last) time I let the girl cat out she immediately jumped up onto the rail and damn near gave me a heart attack. Looking back I wish I'd had the wherewithal to snap a picture, but I was too preoccupied with trying to figure out how to get her down from there without freaking her out and making her fall. Damn cat.

              [–]skyclown -1 points0 points ago

              Believe it or not a cat will almost certainly survive a high fall if its ABOVE the seventh floor. The reason for this is that as small mammals they have a non-terminal velocity to begin with and if they are high enough they have time to re-orient themselves, relax, spread their limbs and glide to a fast but safe landing.
