Heart-stopping movie of a cat falling a long way onto concrete

This is an iframe. That may not mean much but the webpage you see is in fact from another site of mine. I did this because the video recording you see is in fact an animated gif, a long series of still photos strung together. The file was too large to upload to PoC. There are many questions to ask such as why was this cat climbing this vertical wall and why did she fall so near the top? Was she turning to go down because someone deliberately scared her near the top? Was she injured? I’d think she was injured despite running off. Cats do that. Jaws and chests are often hurt or bones broken in falls like this but cats survive. Why was a person recording the whole thing? Was it set up? Lots of questions. It is an unsettling movie

My thanks to Sandy for finding this animated gif file and telling me about it.

Wow, that was truly heart stopping. I do hope the cat is okay.
I’m speculating that from the cat’s position at the beginning of the clip, that it had accidentally gone over the top of the balcony, rather than was climbing up that wall. Perhaps it was sitting on the balcony watching that black and white cat below, when it lost it’s balance and fell? It certainly look as though it’s trying to turn around to head back up towards the balcony.
Why didn’t the idiot put down the camera so they could reach down to see if they could help the cat back up onto the balcony?

  Absolutely, why is this guy filming the whole thing? You’d be trying to grab him.

I was surprised when I happen to see this while I was looking at some photos, but I don’t remember what site I was on. I just knew it wasn’t like any YouTube videos I’ve seen, and was surprised to see the cat get up and run, though he may have been injured from such a long fall. We’ll probably never know.

  This was a very large animated gif (‘gif’ is a type of still image) at 47 million bytes. I tried to convert it to a video format and I could do it but it meant registering with a website and I did not want to do that so used the iframe instead. It is on this page on a subdomain (Google Blogger):
  http://cat-chitchat.pictures-of-cats.org/2015/05/cat-falling-heart-stopping-video.html
  It cycles all the time which I hate.
