Think I'll go scritch our cats now...count me among those who didn't find it funny.

Beat me to it.

Zero G is just a long period of falling, so the cat's finely tuned balance and agility is being overtaxed as he tries desperately to both land, and land on his feet. He can do neither, so he's probably expecting a painful death. Cruel indeed.

Yessir. Our tax dollars at work!

it would have been really funny if they'd done it with a small baby. Now *that's* comedy...

How about using a "fight trained" pit bull?

Only if you have two of them.

How about some zero-g cockfights too? Those are a belly-laugh a minute.

I don't believe those are govt. employees - maybe sky diver trainees (any volunteers to pack their chutes for them?)

Hear, hear!

"Now that's funny, I don't care who you are."

Short of cruel, but sort of stupid (what reaction did they think they would get?), and five seconds too long for decency.

Now we're channelling and reading cats' minds? Wow. There's a skillset I haven't encountered before.

Hey, I said "probably"!

Maybe this has something to do with the classified "Space Cat" program I heard about from a buddy of mine at Area 51?
