It's quite simple:

This kind of statistic can't prove anything because you're only looking at a certain type of outcome. You're not recording how many cats die on impact.

Example:Say you throw 100 cats out of a 5th story window, and 50 survive without harm, 20 die and 30 get sent to the vet with various degrees of injuries. End result: 100 falls, 30 hospitalizations.

Now you throw 100 cats out of a 15th story window - 20 survive without harm, 70 die and 10 get sent to the vet. End result 100 falls, 10 hospitalizations.

If you only look at "number of total falls vs hospitalizations", it would seem that falls from the 15th story are safer.

It's also quite a strange claim that 4-5 stories high isn't enough time for the cat to prepare itself for impact when they can actually right themselves within like a meter and change of free fall, as countless cat videos on the internet will show.

Coin magician here. I’ve always wanted a toonie like this. So hard to find one.

I don't know man. If a child can hold a cat in their arms belly up, drop it and the cat will land feet-first, I somehow doubt that "a couple of stories high" is somehow not enough time for the cat to right itself and prepare for the impact.

Are you implying an expert may be better informed on a topic relevant to them? I bet you'll tell me something silly like I should consider their opinion on the matter /s

That's not how it works, doofus. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, so pony up your proof, and quit conflating "survival" with jumping safely.

Well I look forward to your dissertation on the matter. Make sure you send me a link after you’ve completed all the necessary cites

You can continue to assert it, but it's still misinterpreted, regurgitated junk science, not fact.

It is very fun, it is a fact, and it’s not bs. I actually looked it up when I personally saw a cat survive an 8 story drop

Clearly not a hotel.

If he was adamant about that, Dr. Garvey is a pompous twit who knows next to nothing about statistics...and everything else merely demonstrates that while they might sometimes survive, cats clearly don't make jumps of such heights safely.

That's neither fun, nor fact. Merely oft-parroted internet BS.

Compute it? No. Display it? Yes. https://youtu.be/ar9WRwCiSr0

Put down the pipe; that shit's making you delusional. No cat would intentionally attempt that jump unless motivated by fear to escape some perceived threat. The height is too extreme, and definitely exceeds what one would routinely execute safely.

Question: if Joker is in the backseat, who is driving the car? He was by himself with the accountant when he left the police station.

Cats can actually jump from atop light poles and five story buildings. They're not designed to land on cement but they are designed to break terminal velocity like a less effective sugar glider.

Nice mansion.

I like the marble floors. I know it’s probably a hotel, but it’s nice. I wish I had interior decorating skills.

YOL8T now

Crazy how well some people live eh? I’m going to tell my cat how lucky he is that we live in a small house!

Many predators have their own predators, unless they are apex predators. And animals are opportunistic, they take advantage of vulnerabilities of others.

Our vet told this to me when my cat seemed to have had a stroke. He was fine in the morning, then was a hot mess a few hours later.

He was actually in kidney failure, for a while, and showed no signs of illness, apparently for this reason. I was surprised, too.

This was such a great scene, and you made me realize I should probably get an art frame for it, of joker living his best life.
