Sorry, but throwing a cat out the window isn’t enough to even dampen its spirits. One cat of my acquaintance (belonging to a former landlord) decided to sleep against the screen of an open second-floor window. He was quite surprised when it popped out one day under his weight… we found out about it because he started yowling at the door to be let back in. And he went right back to that window and tried to resume his interrupted nap… yeah, he wasn’t the smartest feline in the world.
You don’t need to throw cats from high places. In my experience, they voluntarily high-dive off them on a regular basis. Though GoddessJ’s parents’ cat Sid went up a tree a few years ago, and had to have the help of four of us, a ladder, and a basket on a pole to get him down again… but then, Sid was always smarter than the average cat.
Cats have nine lives – because throwing one out of the window 9 times is funner than just once.

Try throwing that nine-lives kitty off of the ninth floor.
Oh well, ninth floor’s not enough. This cat survived an 18 floor fall from a Chicago high-rise.

Drat. There must be another way to rid the world of the evil furry menace… Hmm, what do you think would do it, poison tuna fish? Killer mutant mice?
Nope. You’re stuck with ‘em. And don’t forget, they like to be acknowledged as the Secret Lords of the Earth.
Me? Stuck with them? I’m a dog person.
I do like this lady I know named “Katz” though.
I like dogs too, but cats are easier for someone like me to take care of.
My landlord doesn’t allow pets, so for me, the question is academic. I grew up with dogs though, I’m used to pets that acknowledge your existence.
