Totally AWESOME Again!

Ok so this got me curious and I researched a little more and I came up with this: 

!Bungee Jumping Cats!

In training exercises over the California Desert, paratroopers with parachutes and cats, without, leap out of planes!  Now the cats, for obvious reasons, don`t have parachutes and going on the logic that cats always land on their feet... Well, one only assumes these planes were flying just high enough to the ground to give the cats time to twist their tiny bodies so when they did land, they dropped onto their paws unhurt. Apparently it worked. I'm just assuming they jumped without wearing cat collars with bells.

What do you think Bin Laden would have thought if he`d known an American Cat was hunting him along with the US troops!  Its true.

The story behind this picture is that US troops were on the hunt for Osama Bin Laden`s lair and they weren`t the only ones. Get this, in this image of the Abbottabad raid, special ops kitty here sneaks up on Bin Laden`s bodyguard. After all, felines don`t need a ton of specialized equipment to see in the dark like the troop do. We are assuming the bodyguard had no idea about the sneaky infiltrator. I can`t help but wonder if he or she was wearing a cat collar with bell! 

This is right up there with one of my favorite tv programs, William Shatner`s Weird or What!

!! This Is Totally AWESOME !!

Have you ever watched the tv series 24 where terrorist things happen and are prevented all in the space of one hour episodes that make up a day in the life of? I confess to having watched it myself but couldn't get into it. Perhaps I would have if I`d known about this. There was one scene that top military officials in the United States objected to so strenuously that, on the basis that it jeopardized national security no less, the scene was cut and never aired. What was it? It was this:

And if you look really closely this cat is wearing a cat collar with bell and its red!  Seems just a little silly doesn't it?  Or does it, given the history of the military's use of cats during wartime. Like this picture taken during the Vietnam War with kitty leading the troops. 

Do you see the Siamese?

Apparently cats proved to be extremely adept at navigating the unfamiliar terrain of a foreign country. 

A program dubbed, appropriately enough, Cats - was born during the crisis of the Second World War and was highly instrumental during the Normandy invasion.

It remains unclear just what role these war time cats played and the US military isn't sharing this information but I'm sure they helped the moral of the troops in a significant way.  

Is this cool or WHAT!
