Guess they don’t always land on their feet.

A Chinese dog owner likely prefers pooches even more now, after he was knocked out cold by a falling cat, as seen in a viral video from Aug. 14.

In the 45-second CCTV footage, which currently has more than 120,000 views on YouTube, a man named Gao can be seen going for a stroll with his golden retriever in Harbin, Heilongjiang, local media outlet the Paper reports.

Then, out of nowhere, a black and white cat drops out of the sky and hits him on the head, causing him to collapse to the sidewalk unconscious.

According to reports, the kitty belonged to his elderly neighbor and had fallen from his balcony.

Several bystanders can be seen walking past Gao’s prone body before his dog approaches him to see what’s amiss. It spots the culprit lurking by a building and lunges at it, barking, whereupon the two engage in an intense face-off, before the camera cuts back to his owner on the ground.

Couldn’t have followed it at all without the helpful finger.

“Another cat attack.”

Those are called ‘Kitty Tricks’.

My cat does that all the time, waiting in hiding for someone to pass so he can rush out and pounce on them.

he spent 23 days in the hospital, and still has to wear a neck brace and undergo physical therapy.

Not a very funny story, unfortunately.

It’s on the Fox link too

That is a headline you don’t read every day!

I’ve read all the Jeeves and Blandings novels, but never heard of this short story, thanks!

Man knocked out cold, dog goes over to sniff a bag of trash then play with the kitty. Meanwhile, passers-by look at the poor man and keep on walking.

I would swear this is NYC, not Harbin.

That’s what I was thinking! The man broke the cat’s fall, keeping it from being hurt! Surely he owes the cat a lifetime of food and affection for that.

[Western Phil]

The terminal velocity of a falling cat is such that they normally survive falls from practically any height. Don’t know about fat cats?

[Samurai_Jack]

It’s exceptional!

The cat landed on his head and not his feet!

[decal]

They all figured he croaked from the Wuhan Flu and stayed away...

[Hot Tabasco]

I find it not not so strange that the folks here and in the video totally ignore the obviously injured man lying on the ground and nobody attempts to help him.

The folks here would prefer to make jokes about this.............

[skepsel]

Nah, New Yorkers would have stolen his watch and wallet.

[from occupied ga]

Two questions:did the cat jump or was it pushed, and Was the dog in on it?

Guy's lucky. In Atlanta he wouldn't have been ignored, his wallet would have gone for "reparations" in two minutes.

"In China when you hit somebody with your car you back over them to make sure they’re dead. It costs you less."


This!! It is not a joke!

[varon]

People don’t rush too quickly to help him.

Well, at least nobody is emptying his pockets which tells me this did not happen in the USA.....

[Viking2002]

Depending on the variety, it might be wise to jump out of the way........

[Daffynition]

In a word....umbrella
