I Beam With Pride
Forget "curiousity killed the cat". Shear stupidity nearly killed mine.
There is a set of windows between my living room and the front porch. When the window is open, The meeping Cat likes to get a good running start and fly through the window to the porch, hopping back and forth between rooms. When the window is closed, he can't tell, so you can imagine the highly amusing sight that goes along with the loud *thump* when the window is closed. But apparently he has come to believe that ALL open windows lead to nothing but an adjacent room on the same level.
A few days ago, my roommate was putting in her air conditioner. The room is on the second story, the window looking out onto our neighbor's driveway below. The ac is on the floor and the window is open, when the cat appears from his usual plant-chewing activities in the other room. Everything happens very quickly at this point: She sees the cat out of the corner of her eye, and next thing she knows the cat gets a running start and meeping LEAPS OUT THE WINDOW!!! Somehow she developed superhero-like reflexes and actually caught the little meeper in mid air, hanging two stories from the ground. Close your eyes and imagine a cat, just out of nowhere, deciding to run and fly out a second-story window.
She felt bad and didn't want to tell me about it for a few days. The whole time she is telling me, I'm laughing hysterically, and I made her promise not to withhold a good laugh from me ever again.
It's kind of a shame she caught him, ya know? He would have learned a valuable lesson.
Insane little meep.

That's hilarious. Fuking hilarious. Cats are awesome. Chaos engines harnessed to cute sacks of fur and purr-tools.
What I'm really surprised about is that the little fuker moved at all. I don't think I've ever seen him really do that...

ROFL! Probably should have let the little meep fly. I have a clip somewhere of a cat that climbed up a telephone pole. It's standing on the top and won't come down. As the "rescuers" are about to lasso him, the summeep leaps through the air, flys across the street, and lands on the other side. Then scampers off like he has a bottle rocket up his meep. Great stuff.

Yeah, I think I saw that one. A dog barked and scared the cat right off the pole? Then it hit the ground and layed there like it was dead but it got up and ran off. Funny as meep!

I think it's a different clip. This cat never stops moving. They have one of those wire loops on a pole and when they try to slip it on, Boom! Off like a shot.
My cousins used to have a Scotty dog. He liked to run outside when he thought the doorwall was open. That is until he was mistaken and jumped right through the plate glass door.

Watch for a glimpse of the meeping cat wearing sunglasses in the Random Images section. He's think's he's cool and meep. What an meep!
