Woman in coma after being hit by stray feline projectile [View all]

During an argument, a man in Argentina threw a pet cat at his wife. He missed, and the cat was hurled out a 5th-story window. The cat fell on a woman's head and severely injured her. She's now in a coma.

Before using a cat as a weapon, think about the innocent bystanders you're putting in danger.

Couldn't find a link to the story in English.

I'm not able to verify that the cat died. It seems not much recorded either way. dimbear Jan 2012 #14
