Cat Throwing
How far do you suppose a live cat could be tossed from one of these devices?

Would it land on its feet?

Approximately 1388 feet. Yes, but it's feet would soon reside around it's ears. JMO. Big Grin

Tossing cats is best done out of tall buildings, speeding locomotives, or ships far at sea.

TM: Everytime I tried to make a basket, a little snap pass, a gentle underhand pitch to make a ringer, or something similar with a playfull cat it would not turn its paws loose of my bare forearms or else it shredded my shirt sleves. One even put its toenails through my left earlobe once by mistake. No Sir. I am not tossing a cat into a tree chipper. Its the toss part thats hard to execute. That is why I reccommended the tall building type of situation where you just unloosen the darn thing instead of gripping it to do something. Others may have other techniques.

Get am old rubber boot, place cat head first into boot. (Same way as neutering said cat). Toss boot into wood chipper, easy and no scratches on you.

Or if your feeling really sadistic, apply duct tape, and then pull it off....

You'll get clawed. Flame throwers work quicker and with less hazard.

Actually the cats to be targeted are declawed. But, on further reflection the wife is not. Could get bitten too I suppose. By the cat as well.

THE SAFEST way to enter said cat into the space race is the use of a long handled shovel.The only draw back I can report after many launchings is the effort used to get said cat into a high trajectory.The advantages out way the downs though ie: NO LARGE MACHINES IN YOUR BACK YARD(which cause undue attention from other people living within 1 mile of your propity) and never agian will you have to look over your shoulder to see where the wife is shame Just tel her ya goin to do some gardining thumb

Intersting reading: The jester appeared on a little platform high above the crowd on the Cloth Hall Tower, and toy cats were tossed down to the crowd. To round off the evening, witches were burned in the town square.

The way they put it, it looks like PETA have more influence in Ypres than Women's Lib. Eeker

Save the cat toss for winter. When it is
near zero outside a cat dipped in water freezes
fast and if thrown hard enough will shatter.

There ought to be a lease law for cats, then it
would be easier to hang them from a tree and
that would make the shooting easier.

Remember the saying that a dead cat in the hand is worth two live quail in the bush.

Disgustingly,

Old Elk Hunter

P.S. Cats staked out in the sagebrush make excellent coyote bait.
