Low-flying cats appear over Moscow Last night in Moscow (according to this source) the whole bunch of cats was lifted into the air from the roof of a building, by a very strong gust of wind. According to eye-witnesses, the cats were blown at a low altitude accompanied by frenzied meowing... According to the source's calculation, the wind speeds necessary to carry a 3kg cat (with the 10-15 degrees lift-off angle) will have to be at least 35 meters per second. Moscow storm warning yesterday mentioned winds of 20 meters per second.
