    This is perfect because at first glance you’d think wow that’s a heavy cat, it broke the roof!

    In reality though it’s a normal weight cat that has been traveling through space at 40,000mph and rocketed through the atmosphere crashing into the roof. A meowteor…

    Ok I’ll see myself out

          So I have a friend who’s a gastroenterologist. They have animal butt artwork on all the walls it’s so wonderfully dorky. The employee of the month gets the cat ass trophy (it’s more of a plaque) at their desk for the whole month. I say, if your doctor doesn’t have at least that good a sense of humor, you have multiple problems

      That would be impawsible to survive for anything but a cat.

        Cats already like heat, but on entering the atmosphere they convert to their liquid form and their heat capacity increases greatly! Since they’re now liquid the impact doesn’t affect them as much either! Cats really are amazing.

          Research suggests that cats are already liquid at room temperature, earning the researcher a well deserved Ig Nobel prize.

        And a cat could only survive it 8 times.

    I would argue, that the reason why the cat choose this spot is partially because it is the deepest spot, eliminating the uncomfortable slope it would have if it sat 1 meter to the right. Thus there is a causation, the roof shape causes the cat to sit at this spot.

      The causation could also be that the cat jumped from below and therefore the lowest point is the easiest to reach

      Or the cat is liquid and fluided towards at the lowest point

    Ohohoho is funny because it’s impossible for the cat to be so heavy that it would cause structural damage ohohoho

      I agree, my source? Every time I try to lift a cat off of my lap or off of a surface they’re not supposed to be on.
