Cat Of The Week
What do we know about cats? By repute they have nine lives and always land on their feet after a fall. But when you weigh in at around 6 kilograms, I imagine you are not too agile on your feet.
In July of last year a 56-year-old man was minding his own business, taking a stroll on his way to the Santa Rita market in Turin. Suddenly, he was struck on the head by an overweight moggy which had slipped from the terrace of its owner’s eighth storey apartment. The force of the fall was such that the unfortunate victim sustained serious injuries to his head and vertebrae.
The man is taking the cat’s owner to court for compensation, I read this week.
The cat, alas, didn’t survive the ordeal. It must have used up its ninth life!
