News of the strange --- Cat survives 80-foot fall from tree...

SUMMERVILLE, S.C. - 'Piper' the cat may have used up a life or two but was unharmed after falling nearly 80 feet from a tree. She had been in the tree for eight days when a rescuer started up to save her Monday. But a scared Piper crept away until the limb underneath her snapped (bad kitty).

She fell 80 feet, twisting and turning in the air before slamming onto the ground. It looked like a catastrophe, but Piper wasn't even dazed, scampering off before her owner Rodney Colvin could catch her.

Piper was found a few minutes later under a vehicle. Her owner said she had no broken bones and was only a little dehydrated.

I wonder if the cat landed on its' feet (you know the old saying)??? Something tells me the dog had something to do with this....

I heard about this yesterday, how crazy is this. Fell 80 feet and didn't break a thing. I thought that only happened in the movies
