The eagle had enough of the cat’s cr@p.

When I was living in Alaska, an eagle dropped a salmon through the front window of a commuter plane. It landed in the pilot’s lap when the plane was on final.

This is almost exactly how Aeschylus died!

So, he had the fish?.............

The cat, unfortunately, did not survive the fall.

Until the driver observed it, the cat was neither alive nor dead.

It was named Schrodinger................

Just goes to show ya, chances of losing a windshield from an eagle dropping
a rabbit from the sky is very low, but never zero.

ROTFL! You got it.

AI-driven CDS.

Say no to AI.

That dead cat did not bounce.

Here, our Okaloosa Island park is overrun with feral cats.

We also have large numbers of ospreys and eagles and red tailed hawks.

I was talking to my wife just Saturday that we should somehow train them to eat the cats.

Now, I’m not so sure...............

[Red Badger]

It looks like it hit a Tesla, so there’s that.............

That’s a new one to add to the book “101 Uses for a Dead Cat!”

Wonder how many things the eagle has dropped trying to nail a car before. Finally got it.

Good thing no one was in the passenger seat at the time, might have been a different outcome.

I am always terrified at night when I drive in upstate Pennsylvania visiting relatives, roads are pitch black, I’m afraid a deer is going to jump out and I’m going to hit it. I try to get behind a large truck. In the morning, there are always dead deer along the highway.

The impact was catastrophic.

Poor kitty- must’a been life number nine!
