She danced really fast that day.
It was funny for me.
Slept on the couch that night.

(202,958 posts)I was just wishing that this went on for a few more seconds to make sure the girl got the little one down - but I realize that wasn't the point of the clip.

(202,958 posts)And I've seen my cat fall - not often, but it's happened. He likes to climb up to the top of the cat tree and he sometimes spies something - a spot or a bug - and becomes so obsessed in reaching it that he loses his balance. He's never had a bad fall, there are levels on the "tree," but there's nothing to catch the kitten but the girl!

(15,226 posts)I have witnessed a fatal cat fall from a tree. Even more amazing I have witnessed fatal tree falls of squirrels. I might go for a kitten but the squirrels are on their own.

(34,119 posts)I suspect it had been the victim of a shrike, aka butcher bird. They can kill small to medium prey but their beaks are not strong enough to rip their prey apart. So they hang their victims on trees or fences and wait until they are rotted enough to pick at.
The squirrel skeleton was hanging way out at the end of a limb, not a place likely for a squirrel to go to die but a good spot for a shrike to hang a carcass.
