Rob,

I live on a horse farm, and I can appreciate your viewpoint on cats.

There was much discussion on the Terminal Velocity of a cat at our EAA shed 
several years ago.  Don't remember much about it, but I think it was clocked 
at about 120 mph, and supposedly landed on its feet, as all cats do.  I think 
the story of it walking away after a 2500' drop was a bit exaggerated though.

Then after several meetings there was some new data on the Terminal  Velocity 
of a pig....it didn't land on its feet, and it certainly didn't walk away.

My own personal experience with planes and a cats was the time I agreed to 
fly my son's Siamese cat  200 miles downstate in my Mooney.

About halfway there, the damned cat, which had been yowling all the way, 
decided to take a nervous dump in its cage.   The putrid smell was 
overwhelming.  We gagged and gagged the last forty minutes of the trip.....if 
I could have gotten the Mooney's door open, we would have found out the TV of 
 a cat cage, a cat, and a big pile of cat poo.
