Cat falls several stories and survives

A South Carolina kitty used up a few lives this week.

After more than a week in a tree, the cat is back on earth.

But it wasn't exactly the way Piper's owners hoped he would come down, but the good news is he is ok.

As of March 20, Piper the cat had been stuck in a tree for eight days when help arrived. But as the frisky feline's rescuer grew closer, Piper climbed higher.

It wasn't long before a tiny branch gave way and Piper plunged 80 feet. On the way down, the cat struck a branch of another tree, which may have broken his fall.

After a brief search, Piper's owner, Rodney Colvin, managed to pull the cat from his hiding place underneath a car. Colvin said Piper appeared to be fine, but he took him to the vet to make sure he hadn't broken a rib during his rapid descent.

I don't know if you are aware of it. We are being monitered by Dictator Jorge Bush.. Stick to issues please or get banned.

Interesting story! I thought cats always landed on their feet.
