    hmm....i'm not sure how far you could throw one, but....

    "You can chuck a Cat out of a plane at 1000feet and The cat will not be killed. Due to its terminal velocity being so slow it isnt fatal. Please feel free to test this out on your own pet moggy.

    Terminal Velocity of an object is the effect of gravity minus the effect of wind resistance working in the other direction. When a sky diver jumps out of an aeroplane. After 5 seconds he accelerates to 200mph then wind resistance kicks in and he slows down to around 130mph.. and this speed is his terminal velocity. The average cats terminal velocity is thought to be much slower at around 60 mph."

    Depends on the weight of the cat, whether it's comfortable being held or will immediately start to squirm, the amount of fur (long hair vs. short hair), length of tail, and how strong your desire is to have him fall asleep on your head in the middle of the night and suffocate you

    After my friends cat killed his bird he took it out side and tossed it up in the air higher than the trailer he lived in. It landed on its feet and belly. I felt bad, a cat does what cats do, he should have known something like this could happen. He also put it in the spin cycle of the washing machine and it did not die. It just walked sideways until it hit something walked aginst it until it passed it and then walked sideways untill it a wall then it curled up and went to sleep for a long time he said. I left after seeing that, I like cats.

    well, obvsiously the best way to go about this is to hold the cat firmly by the end of its tail and spin your entire body several times before releasing(hammer throw style). how far it could go would depend on my strength and technique as well as the weight of the cat(assuming no wind). but id say i could probably throw one atleast 45 feet.

    now i just need a cat to test this out.

    the hammer toss method....that's good. Hadn't thought of that. I was just thinking pick and try and hurl before it got too squirmy and scratchy.

    This reminds me of the Japanese Game show "How big a fish can a cat carry?"

    They tested it by putting bigger and bigger fish down in the middle of a park.

    I think it was 3 kg.

    I think its pure evil to hurt an animal in any way, even if you dont like it...I dont really like cats but I would never throw one into the air.

    Just throw a 10 lb sack of potatoes. Its about the same weight, has the same weight shifting element that a live animal would, and Fluffy doesn't get hurt (well unless the potato sack should land on him).

    For extra fun and a more realistic experiment, get some puncturevine thorns and stick them into the potato sack to simulate the danger of claws.

    Then try to pick up the sack and chuck it while blindfolded. :

    If anyone tries this I'll personally come to their residence and test out how far one has to throw such a douchebag to really hurt him/her.

    Any asshole that would do such a thing to an animal deserves the SAME treatment. I hope you rot in hell.

    Hmmm...I don't know, but I know that my old cat (loved him, miss him) used to slide down our banister and "fly" across the living room. No, he was never thrown or dropped on his head. He was like the evil kenevil of the cat world.

    If you'd feel better about the theoretical, then ask, "How far could you throw a live 8lb eel?" The three biggest controlling elements are the shock factor of throwing a live animal, the inablity to keep it stable during the process and the variable wind resistance during its flight.

    I'm guessing that all of these, together, would produce an average distance of around four feet on the first toss. I'm guessing a maximum of twenty feet on the next two tries. After that, it's hard to say, because that hammer throw method could work in several ways.

    Um, I'm thinking you meant to post this thread on the BLUE side!? Considering a large majority of women are pretty sensitive to living creatures but also very fond of cats!

    Oh, I know! How about I start a thread on the BLUE side about how much of a penis I can chop off and it still function, hypothetically of course!?

    Go for it! Blue side is a little slow. And it has been quite a few years since Bobbit-mania.

    I've thrown my cat before when he bites hard... he's attached himself to various parts of my body by the teeth, and he gets tossed off me... he's been good lately, but I'd never do it to hurt him, and never far, its just enough to get him off me...

    however, I dont know why someone would want to throw a cat for the purpose of harming it.... so you may not like cats... I don't like a lot of people but that doesnt mean I hurt them... I may want to, but I dont.
