    Poor thing must've been terrified. Fair play to the chaps with the flag, brilliant stuff. Good job someone spotted it up there in the first place!

    Almost got ragged to bits afterwards though with people wanting to do the lion king with it.

    Oddly, falling from much higher is apparently better for cats. I read somewhere that once they reach terminal velocity and stop accelerating, their muscles relax and then the most common injury is a broken jaw if they meet the ground chin first.

    Due to high drag their terminal velocity will be about half that of a human and due to their low mass, their momentum at that speed several times lower. From a typical building, most feline fatalities occur in falls from floors 2-5, with first floor unlikely to be high enough to cause major harm and above floor 5 land in a relaxed state at a speed unlikely to cause fatal injury.
