Optimistic Cro!
The difference between an optimist and a pessimist, is that the optimist enjoys himself whilst waiting for the inevitable! I AM that optimist!

About Me
- Cro Magnon
- I was born just south of London, but for the past 50 years I've lived in S W France. I am a painter by profession, and writer by desire. Lady Magnon and I live between an ancient cottage in a tiny village in perfectly tranquil French countryside, and a bijou townhouse in Brighton UK. In France we have plenty of fruit trees, all situated amongst a view that takes the breath away, in the UK we have a handkerchief sized patio. We also have a Border Collie called Billy. I try to treat our planet with respect, and encourage others to do likewise (without preaching). Contentment is a glass of red, a plate of charcuterie, and a slice of good country bread. Perfect!
Judging by the relaxed demeanour of the humans, this was a fairly common occurrence.
ReplyDeletePerhaps the cat was a seasoned flyer. It didn't seem to panic!
DeleteI am amazed that the cat just hung on with no panic.
ReplyDeleteAnd no-one offered assistance.
DeleteThe cat probably wants to add to it's frequent flyer points!
ReplyDeleteYou have a good 'point' there.
Deleteoh sweet, a flying cat. He does seem comfortable and not in a hurry to disembark.
ReplyDeleteHe did seem to be hanging-on quite tightly. Perhaps he'd already spent 8 of his 9 lives.
DeleteBwahahahahahaha! Cats, don't you love them!!
ReplyDeleteYou just can't trust them.
DeleteConsidering his predicament I think he did remarkably well.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if he'd done it before. He appears very confident.
DeleteI know cats like to be in high places but this seems hard to believe? Do you think it is a photo shop creation? The Humane Society would definitely not approve.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it's genuine, but whether or not it was set up; who knows. The cat may be a regular flyer!!! Like some dogs go surfboarding.
DeleteMy take on it is that the cat was a stowaway. Once he was spotted, they landed straightaway. I would not have dared to reach for him in the air, either. It might have sent him into a panic. That's an awful long way for a cat to fall, and I don't think landing on his feet would have been any great help at that height.
ReplyDeleteYes, his 9th life might not have helped.
DeleteReading the story, the cat is a 'mascot' of sorts. He was hidden inside the wing of the ultralight and came out midflight. It sounds as if he could have retreated to safety back inside the wing, but he seemed very interested in the view, didn't he?
ReplyDeleteHe looked to me as if he was actually enjoying it.
DeleteThe cat seemed catatonic.
