Cat survives 80-foot fall from tree
Wait until Laurence hears about this one:
For Rodney and Scottie Colvin, it was been a nerve-racking eight days. Their cat, “Piper,” scampered up a tree in the yard of their Summerville, South Carolina home last Monday, March 13.
Efforts to coax the animal down failed. A week later, on Monday, March 20, would-be rescuers came to Piper’s aid. Then, something went terribly wrong, but this time all was okay in the end.
The cat fell nearly 80 feet, clipped a branch on the way down and then landed on its feet and ran away. Piper, no doubt, used up at least a couple of his feline nine lives, but otherwise appeared to have survived the ordeal without serious injuries.
Here’s the video.
9 times, the owner uses a female pronounce or posessive when mentioning the cat.
Of course, the reporter then uses a male posessive.
Wow, thanks for linking to this.
We were watching 24 on Monday night on Fox, and the local newscast teased to this video. My wife wanted to watch it, of course, and I said, “Are you sure you want to do that?”
My opinion of most local newscasts is that they are pretty bad, and I hate watching them. They’re pretty much what Jon Stewart is making fun of, and there’s a reason why he’s so dead-on. They’re so fake — both in terms of the way they relate to readers and the news they present — that it’s all too easy to parody them.
But the local Fox affiliate’s news was just absolutely the worst I’d ever seen. Uncomfortable happy talk, stupid writing, cumbersome segues, shallow stories. We couldn’t get past 5 minutes of it, and never did see the cat video.
So, bless you, Matty B!
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
