Some people wouldn't consider the kittens as being alive yet since they aren't born yet.
it was a palastinian suicide cat and it blew up the local isreali cat resturant kill 8 innocent jewish cats....is this kosher?
I thought cats always landed on their feet
me too
I thought that one cat jumped and 8 others followed.
Or there were 10 cats in the building and the building was on fire. The cat that jumped was the only one that survived
poor kitty's! They never even had a chance!
it landed on 8 cats, thus mushing them to death in the process of comitting suicide
i thought it was because cats have 9 lives
same here
My first thought was - "It killed off all it's nine lives?" My second thought was "It hit a fragile sky scraper with 8 cats on the top floor and knocked it over or something?",
and my final thought was "It landed on 8 other cats?" (my favourite one) - I never thought about kittens

I thought he had 9 lives that died or there were "copycats" that followed him!
Wow... some cat. A cat would normally have 2 to 5 kittens, but 8... I liked it though. I must say, unborn cats shouldn't be considered cats, since scientists don't even consider fetuses human.
This made me sad
8 kittens!That's alot
That's terrible.
Horse luver: doesn't that make them copycats
I disagree with this teaser because cats land on their feet.
