You sure seem to have a lot of first hand experience abusing your animals. So of course we all believe everything you say when you claim the video is all fake.
This may be hard for you to understand, but you being incredibly wrong and stupid doesn't mean I must be abusive to my animals. I throw them into pillows and beds around the house, which they love by the way.
1) TRUE (great defense by the way)
2) TRUE (you did a great job of defending this one, too). Cats always twist and roll to land feet first because their rib cage is specially designed to handle the impact. It's floating instead of fixed like ours. They absolutely do not fly completely limp like what's shown in the video or what you seem to think.
3) Yes, necessarily. Please find a video on the internet of a cat being picked up and thrown without making any noise. It's still irrelevant regardless of if that's actually available online somewhere, but the point remains that it's a toy, not a real cat, for a wide variety of other reasons.
4) I throw my cats in the pool because they enjoy being in it. I also throw my kids in the pool because they, too, enjoy it. I threw shot put extensively in high school and I'm completely sure by your moronic response that you didn't. I'm also a big guy and there's no way in hell I could throw a cat that far with so little effort. He didn't even have to move his feet and you think he threw a real cat that far, lol. You should try leaving your basement once in a while.
5) That's still not 60 feet. I know math must be hard for you even though I did most of the work already, but try adding 20 to half of a pool length, which is approximately 30 feet long (most pools are 30 - 32 feet) for a total flight distance of 40 feet or in the ballpark (pretty close to my initial guess of 40-50 feet...). Also, he's on the second floor of a residential structure, which is definitely not 20 feet high. The umbrella on the pool is probably 8 or 9 feet tall at the most and it's close to even with the surface of the 2nd floor deck. You seriously have no clue what you're saying or how to estimate distance. Perhaps you've never been exposed to wide angle lens distortion.
"And a lounge like that is longer than 6 feet. And you just said 3 would fit on the stone porch, so that's at least 18 feet right there." - Thank you for repeating exactly what I said. The chairs are slightly longer than 6 feet (75 to 78 inches), which is why I rounded up to 20. Try reading next time! It helps when you're trying to make a point.
6) I know enough about this video to know the cat isn't real based on observations. It's really not difficult if you're capable of estimating things even to the right order of magnitude.
7) You've thrown shot put, so you're 'familiar' with how it's done? That's what people say who've never actually done something. Also, LOL @ labored breathing. Are you fucking kidding me? That's extremely soft breathing at best. I'm now sure you've never, ever done any physical activity in your entire life if you think that's what people sound like after throwing heavy objects. The energy exerted while throwing something as heavy as a cat requires full body movement. Propelling an object that heavy over that long of a distance would require him to have fallen backward lest he violated the conservation of energy.
To quote a guy in the youtube comments:
LET me clarify for the dumbass's out there.. the cat he picked up was real. What he threw, was a stuffed toy animal. He picked the cat up, put it down where the camera didnt see, grabbed the stuffed toy up and threw it. I didnt know people can be this stupid.
