Woman in coma after being hit by stray feline projectile

[Capitalocracy]

During an argument, a man in Argentina threw a pet cat at his wife. He missed, and the cat was hurled out a 5th-story window. The cat fell on a woman's head and severely injured her. She's now in a coma.

Before using a cat as a weapon, think about the innocent bystanders you're putting in danger.

Couldn't find a link to the story in English.

I guess the same goes for cats.

7. The woman had gone about for 85 years unmolested by flying cats. She was due.

There's a famous Greek philosopher who supposedly bought the farm after being hit by a falling turtle or tortoise. Can't recall the name.

9. It's absurd to the point of being amusing, but it's actually quite a sad story

The cat died, the 85-year-old woman suffered brain damage. She was quite active, apparently, an amateur opera singer.

14. I'm not able to verify that the cat died. It seems not much recorded either way.

What I can verify is that the cat's owner is pretty much an ass.

En tanto, cuando la dueña del animal bajó a la calle no reparó en el daño causado a la mujer, sino que empezó a gritar pidiendo auxilio para su mascota.

That is to say, she needed help right now--for her cat.
