The unbelievable tale of a cat named Lucky -- who fell 26 stories and survived -- doesn't quite prove the myth but it comes pretty close.

Proof positive that cats are dumber than dogs.

They ought to rename that cat “Dopey”.

A couple of New York city vets that studied the fall of cats from the local high rises said that a cat was more likely to survive a 26 story fall than a three story fall.

The damage from the lower falls are easy to understand but the explanation for the better survival rate of the high falls is that the cat reaches terminal velocity anyway, but that after a point the cat relaxes and when it lands the blow is spread from it’s feet, legs and to its rib cage and belly, most of them die or at least are badly damaged, but some of them survive.

Joe, is this a real picture? Are there really kittens this size? This cat looks to in proportion to be as young as it is small. It's a photoshop job, right?
