This cat made it to freedom. He likely worked in the factory keeping rats down. Oh rats are a far greater food product than cats in China.

I think humans taste nicer. Cats are too fluffy.

Their not indestructable, but they are pretty tough creatures. They can run away from falls that would easily kill a dog or human.

Yes, cats are truly fascinating, strong creatures. Some people just think they sleep all day. Those people do not understand cats.

I saw a story on that and they said cats are very good at short and long falls. Short because well its short. Long because he has time to unhinge (or relax or something) and prepare for the fall. Moderate distances are more problematic as the cat has enough height to be injured and perhaps not enough time to prepare.
