Best aviation use of a cat!

My cats fly without on board power. :D


Thanks Rich. Brings new meaning to the term Kittyhawk. :rofl:
 
I used to live on our church's property in a trailer rented from our pastor. There is a cat that has hung around the church for years, and he fed her, so I carried on feeding her while I lived there. He called her "go away" but I changed her name to Taco (Taco spelled backward is "o - cat"). So when I saw this, my first thought was of the TacoCopter!:rofl::rofl::rofl:
 
Best aviation use of a cat involves testing its ability to land feet first from about twelve thousand feet.

I cannot reconcile my revulsion with my hysterical laughter...
 
I thought I smelled this topic over on the Purple Board....

Oddly enough, this reminds me of when GLaDOS (from Portal/Portal 2) put the thought experiment, Schrodinger's cat into practice.

This honestly made me laugh though. I wonder if you can do the same thing to a human.

Interesting question, but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and guess that a stuffed animal is a common site for him. He probably does not attach the same thoughts/feelings to it as you may be guessing.

After all, doesn't the story say that Roy Rogers had Trigger stuffed cause he loved that horse.
 
I hear he owns the Bates Motel in Amsterdam.

Human? With sufficient funds.

Now a blow up doll would be much cheaper...:lol:
 
Fully expect to read about this guy in the Crime section of their newspaper at some future time.
 
Best use for a cat in aviation?
You gotta feed Chocks the airport dog with something that moves on it's own occasionally. They make lousy chew toys though because they go limp too quickly.
 
I've yet to see a dog come out on top of a one on one with a cat. where you have to get in to it is when the dogs pack up; that's how they get cats.

I think it's in bad taste. My dad always talked about having our cat stuffed for her spot on his desk, but when it came time he thought not.

Our Bobbidog would hunt feral cats, she'd bring us 3 or 4 a week.

She got the neighbor's cat, that was embarrassing. but the cat was loose and unattended.

Watch a terrier go after a cat sometime. The fight's not over until it's over...or the cat manages to escape. Brutal stuff. They really know how to properly tear a cat up.

The terrier we had when I was growing up took down at least one a month on average. Cats patrolled the neighborhood like gods however they stayed clear of our yard even when the dog was in the house..or on vacation.
 
In Colorado, our neighborhood cats were "taken care of" by Coyotes. I would tell new neighbors if I saw their cat outside to please keep "Fluffy" inside as the Coyotes would get them. They'd typically laugh at me because they didn't usually see the Coyotes, and said they wanted the cat to be "free" to roam.

OK, a week or maybe two would pass, and sure enough "Fluffy's" picture would be on the community mailbox with a picture and "Missing Cat" with a phone number. The cat wasn't missing, the cat was lunch.
 
I watched about half of it. Doesn't do anything for me. Whatever floats your boat, or levitates your cat.
 
I hear this guy has a St. Bernard, named Wilbur.

Stay tuned . . . . :wink2:
 
There was a humorous story in one of the many aviation magazines years ago. Had something to do with how you could use a cat and a duck for flying in the clouds. Set the cat on the glare shield, they always know which way is up, so just manipulate the controls to keep him perpendicular. If the cat gets tired of sitting there toss the duck out the window and follow him down, 'cause ducks fly in the scud all of the time........

Another involving cats; was an old Frank Kingston-Smith? story in the back of Flying Magazine (i think), Think the title was something like 'CAT 3' He was flying his mother-inlaw's cats from Fla. to somewhere up North. Funniest thing I've ever read in a flying mag.

30lb dog got his butt kicked.

100lb dog had the still screaming cat half way down his throat before we rescued the cat...

Pound for pound I'll bet on the cat over most dogs, but 100lbs vs. 10 the outcome becomes more predictable.

Centennial and Greenwood Village have been trapping and relocating Coyotes.

Our neighborhood fox was killed by the neighbor's dog a few years ago.

So now we have rabbits in every yard and garden. They're everywhere.

I wish they'd just learn to leave nature alone.

When I lived by a crazy cat lady in Memphis with approx 150 cats my neighbor's dog killed 2 per week on average which was slightly slower than they breed. We called his yard "The Pit of Doom" because he had an electric wire around the top of the fence The cats would hop over the fence then couldn't get out, Dog went undefeated until the day he died about a year ago. My pit bull was fairly efficient at dispatching cats when they got in the back yard.

Stray cat almost got it last night. Charged Angie out walking the dogs. Leashes saved kitty.
 
I like cats, but cats are disposable. I usually keep about a dozen around my house because as a general rule, snakes and cats will not cohabitate. It's about a 50/50 chance who will win a matchup between a rattlesnake and a cat, but the cats breed faster.

Hmmm... My wife has said that cats would run snakes off, but I figured it was just one of the wives tales she grew up with (she has a lot of them). ;)
