SUMMERVILLE, S.C. (AP) - Piper the cat may have used up a life or two but was unharmed after falling nearly 24 metres from a tree.
She had been in the tree for eight days when a rescuer began climbing up to save her Monday. But a scared Piper crept away until the limb underneath her snapped. She fell 24 metres, twisting and turning in the air before slamming onto the ground. It looked like a catastrophe but Piper was not 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.
