Alley the Cat Sets the World’s Record for the Longest Jump Made By a Cat

Alley started out as such a frail little kitty and to have her grow up and become strong and then eventually end up being a Guinness World Record holding cat is so exciting for us and for her because she had such, you know difficult beginnings and now she’s a star. In a year’s period we got her from jumping two, three feet, four feet, five feet and then finally right before she turned a year old she was able to leap the full six feet.

Fortunately they have background music playing in the show, so the audience doesn't have to be subjected to nothing but noise

6. Perhaps they mean jumping and landing in a non-ridiculous lump
