Cat in the cockpit! - Page 2

i think its hilarious how it gets a little nervous during final approach and touchdown but as soon as they turn off it just calmly readjusts itself and goes back to relaxing

I love the look on that cat's face right at touchdown

OMG, I can not believe a cat would sit there like that!

No cat I've ever known would have the temperament to sit quietly in a plane like that! Hilarious!

wish I could get my collie to do that. I can't even get him to ride in my truck without him trying to get in my lap

Drug em'. Benadryl works just as well on pets as it does on children.

You know what the cat was thinking, "Told you I could fly."

I shared that video to a bunch of crazy cat people and they said he's either a bengal

or an ocicat

I was reading Cat Fancier the other day while waiting at the vet and there were a lot of ads for these cats in the back - seems like they get pretty big, though. Most lokked about 50% larger than the average house cat.

I've got a bengal. He weighs 15 pounds and there's not much fat on him. He's a very active, athletic cat and I swear, he thinks he's a dog. Every morning, I get a paw brushing my face, purring, and then a lick on the face to wake me up.

This is Bagheera. He is a blue marbled polydactyl bengal which is why I got him for free. He's not considered show quality but who cares, I wanted a pet.

That made me laugh... a lot. Wonder what would happen during steep turns? :-D

That would definitely happen if I tried that with either of mine...the dogs however...out like a light.

Our cat would be glued to the pilot's face. Gorgeous cat though. I wonder how their temperament is. Our cat had a bad one, then I gave him a swirlie and had his claws ripped out. Great cat now.

I really think that is a savannah cat. They are really cool cats, more like a dog than a cat.

Pilot: 'We made it'

Upon further utube research (This guy is LIVING THE LIFE! - He must not fly for a living!) Iris the cockpit cat *is* a Bengal.

Bullet130 · February 24th, 2008, 19:29

That does look like a Bengal. I have a Bengal, but of the marbled variety. I don't think he would like riding in a plane.

That is one calm, cool cat.
