Who needs common sense when you've got imgur?
Try that stunt with a cat and fishing line and see how it goes.
Imgur is the source of the video, apparently; no relation to common sense - even mine.
No need to try it, even aside from the obvious cruelty... A kitty with a collar tightened like a ligature, and pulled straight up from the back of the neck, will try desperately to see and reach the floor safely. No kitty can reach his or her front paws up around the back of the neck to "fight" the wire.
