Cats in Spaaaceee!!!
Someone took a cat up on a "vomit comet" - one of the planes used for long parabolic dives to provide many seconds of free fall.
Then they let it go...
Then someone YouTube'd it.

All I can think is that if you gave the cat 20 mins rather than 20 secs they'd probably adapt just fine, unless there is something seriously funky with their inner ears.
Then the guy in the blue jump suit would be sorry. Real sorry...

1-- I have no idea what anyone is saying. The last time I took Spanish was like 10 years ago. So even if people say something I know, it takes me 5 minutes to translate. And then, I have this 'ear popping issue' when I fly on planes. Fine going up, severe pain coming down, ears…

I always wondered how the "Dynamics of Cats" related to astronomy...
I hope that was a declawed cat.
I hope not!
That's just sad. The poor cat has no idea what's going on. Those people are pathetic for even trying that. Why not take a baby next time and laugh at it screaming and flailing about - think how much fun THAT would be...
