Now we're not saying this is totally cruel - this cat may really love open doors on airplanes, heights, plummeting to the earth and being strapped to his owner's stomach - but we're just going to observe that the whole experience must have been really strange for that cat's little, little brain to process. We imagine it went something like this: 'food, water, play, scratch, sleep, food, water, play, scratch, sleep, food, confusion, terror, YEEOOOW!). It seems like the people had a lot of love for the cat - though we're not really sure what the point was - so we trust it was ok in the end. What do you think? Comment below ...

168. This is animal cruelty plain and simple. I hope the SPCA or Humane Society see this and find the idiot and prosecute him/her. I have 3 cats and would never think of doing something so stupid. Of course, I do not take my dog with me during the summer and leave her locked in a hot car like other idiot owners do with theirs.

169. let's see here........first, why did he need to share his experience with an animal.......maybe a toddler...no, riduclous mind set......and above all else if such behavior is allowed at all, should be stripped of his life as he knows it to being in jail.....and along others that participate in it...it just isn't the individual owner(s) of the cat that are at fault, it is all involved to endorse his dollar.....i'd hate to think any government grants were given out to any of these individuals to give any of them the opportunity at any time in their lives to indulge in such behavior........not to make it worse in thought or actions......did they have a videologist, as it may be referred to, waiting on the ground to capture the cat's landing.......how sad and sick.......and a couple of more thoughts that have come to mind.....can one have the authority to say that this kind of behavior will be around forever just as sex will be.....be thankful he isn't raping someone, as one could say about it.....wow......he raped the cat's mind of human kindness........i have six cats and four of them are related, i rescude the mother as a kitten, being dumped by some little mexican kids in the common area of my condo complex, i had to teach her how to drink with an eye dropper, four months later i rescude the father as a kitten, they had kittens, one boy, one girl, which are still with me, but she had 7 kittens after them, which i wound up not being able to afford to get them fixed, one of the kittens died in birth, the fifth of the seventh, it would have been the cutest out of all my kitties. my first of my six cats i've had for nearly 12 yrs, a tabby mix, and the last of my six cats is a stray adult male that was fixed and humans had to have done something to him to be in the various conditions i kept seeing him in....the fur on his back scrapped off, his left side of his face gorged open....as time went on he knew i wasn't going to harm him but kept his distance, slept on one of my patio chairs...i made spot for him to get away from the cold....he used it for a couple of days, which i was surprised, but then i found him hiding back behind his sleeping chair and he didn't move from there for almost two days, i smelt some kind of decay, it was him, he had an abcess the busted open located right in between his legs....he let me pick him up and i brought him inside, placed him under my desk....i didn't have the money to take him to the vet, besides, two vets messed with two of my cats, one vet killing one cat from being groomed by giving her too much anesthesia and the other one i still have, but messed with me on questing him about my cat's healing process and deliberately left the thermometer in her abdomen and i didn't realize it until she went to the poop box and checking to see if there was still blood in her stool, i see the thermometer.....boy, was i irate.......she didn't want to eat......i bought real baby meat food and she eventually ate it and of course she is now still with me...back to my last cat with the abcess..........i kept soaking a warm wash cloth and soaking up the area as much as i could......i had a bag of antiseptic soap it got from the thrift store, used a bit of that in warm enough water i knew he stand in the bath tub.......he sat down the first time because he was too weak to stand or fight it......i gently waved the water with my hands between his legs and over a few baths he started getting better and smelling the better....the decayed skin started falling from him and as it did i would cut it off.....never never having done this before i was leary about hurting him and making him infected from the scissors, so i disinfected the scissors with alcohol and slowing and gently cut to make sure he didn't budge and he didn't.....so i knew then what dead skin looked like and felt secure of what i was doing....i got some orasol gel, red iodine, to sew up the area as soon as i felt all the abcess was out so that i didn't sew any in him, but i needed a second hand to help me to a better job.....but no one would care to think i could do it so i hoped for the best that he would heal and "by jovy" he has and is part of the clan........there is no excuse for this behavior and because there seems to be not enough of us to make sure we don't mistreat our "joy makers", we all need to step up and call someone down when we see them do it.......i've seen people people around me that seem to respect each other, but when it comes to their animals, they don't seem to think anything is wrong with it........a mexican guy use to ride his bike and then call for his little chiwawa type dog to chase after him in the heat of well over 100 degrees....finally i said something to him about it....being decent to him as an equal human being as i would want if i didn't know i was doing something wrong...but he thought i was full of it.....so then i said that is animal abuse, i asked him if he was trying to give his dog a heart attack, he thought i was being funny......plus i later found he was using his dog to chase after cats.....i told him to stop doing that...he thought he could sit in my drive way and smile at me, so i had to say.....i will call the cops to get off my property.....so i started calling him a puck....now i guess he drives a green jeep and turns his mexican music on loud as he passes my place........now this is what terrorism in our still barbaric state of what we call life.........that is what is sad......i feel for someone to do what this man did to his cat(might it be female)that he thinks it is funny.........and those who participated in it's experience.........

170. IT'S NOT ONLY CRUEL, IT'S IDIOTIC, STUPID, AND EVIL!!! I WAS CRYING WHEN I SAW IT!

171. What a TOTAL A$$HOLE. HE should be charged with cruelty to animals and the cat should be confiscated from him so that he can NEVER do this to this poor little thing. This poor thing(whose heart is about the size of a walnut)needs someone to CARE for it. Not give it a heart attack. You definitely could see the paws swinging out of sheer terror. LEt this guy jump from a plane.... WITHOUT A PARACHUTE.
Some people are just so stupid, cruel, heartless and just plain self-serving....
I just don't get it.

172. In the first place, I do NOT like cats--even though in years past I had to put up with them because of the kids. Also, I found that I was terribly allergic to them.
Putting all that aside, I think what the cat owner did was perhaps the most inane and stupid thing to subject an animal to. What on earth was the guy trying to prove? That he was in control--???
Would be interested to see what happened when he landed--how was the cat? (Hope it bit the hand that fed it!!!!!)

173. Clearly when watching this video you can see the cat is kicking and scared before the man jumps. And he wasn't hitting the cat, look again and you'll see it. The poor cat is terrified and trying to get away from him. That man needs to be in jail and the cat taken away from him. So the cat can go to a home where the people will care and love it. I have a cat and he's loved very much. He's like having another child again to me.

174. Just how the hell could a pet owner do something so wrong and sickening and think that the poor cat is enjoying it?Also, how could the idiot that thought this video amusing add at the beginning of this article.. "Now we're not saying this is totally cruel"? What is NOT cruel about it, a-hole??
Imagine what would have been said and done if it were an infant being forced to sky dive with a parent in a video! I don't see much of a difference!
Either way, IT'S DISGUSTING!!
