I hope I did this right. In case you have not seen it yet, I thought this might bring a smile to our hearts. I thought this was just wonderful. Now I just hope you can access it. If not, do a Google:Miami Fans rescue falling cat.

I have seen this video and the thing that troubles me is how that cat got there and how did the kitty get into a position that it was clinging like that?

Cats do not act like dogs. They don't like real "people-y" places. That cat would never have snuck in. And if in, it would try to get away from crowds and noise.

It makes me think someone hung that kitty there on purpose and that makes me angry and sad.

And I promised myself I wouldn't type any more dumb posts.

I do so like cats and dogs. I really don't think any self respecting cat would have gotten itself in that pickle.

Yes, someone actually hung a cat there with no one noticing...

Gracie, I know you have cats and know their habits and peculiarities. We've had seven of them down through the years, and we love cats as much as we love dogs. and know them well.

I have seen cats on several occasions in the outfields of baseball stadiums, and a couple of football stadiums. They usually come in from far out in the field, start running around, and eventually make their way up into the stands, trying to escape. I've seen it in person and also on television. One even climbed up to a scoreboard in a major league field.

I'm not saying this is what happened, and there was a stadium back in the '70s where nasty people threw cats. (I don't know where the cats came from.) But at least the people standing along the fencing in Miami looked like they were trying to reach this cat.

He could have gotten up into the stands and then tried to escape somehow, terrified. At any rate, I hope that is the case.

Saving a cat? What's the big deal? They have nine lives.

Video shows Florida football fans use a U.S. flag to rescue cat that fell from upper deck (https://www.nbcnews.com/news/sports/video-shows-college-football-fans-florida-rescuing-dangling-cat-fell-n1279009)

This should work.

Gee, I wonder how the expression, "curiosity killed the cat came about"?

You know when you say it like that it makes sense. I just hope that cat throwing is NOT a new thing. I talked it over with Mikey just now and he is getting really old, (like me) and he said, "Those people don't care what you think. Open that can of Tuna on the breakfast bar. My dish is empty. "

So I did.

I stand corrected. I still love that old furry. He is almost twenty years old.

The cat thanked them by clawing them and peeing on one of the rescuers. Reminds me of the time one of my parent’s cats got chased up a pine tree and wouldn’t come down. My Mother was extremely upset so I got an extension ladder out and got my hands on the cat. By the time I got him down he had scratched my arm bloody and peed on me. He was about 20’ up that tree and he descended the last 6 feet on his own and yes it is true they always land on their feet

The cat was scared to death.

Cats don't pee on people when they are scared. Dogs do.

Hang in there Mikey. He just wants to be petted and loved at that age.
We had one here and he only made it to 16... Loved that little Rascal...

Every once in a while, cats find their way into stadiums. More frequently, they inhabit baseball fields. There a a number of videos of grounds crew chasing one, only to have it disappear into the stands and to be never heard from again.

I doubt that someone brought the cat into the stadium to do what you have proposed.

I hope no one scooped it up and engineered this hanging from the edge. We have two cats now in our home. One will run and hide under the bed if the door bell rings and the other will help us greet the visitor.

None of the cats that we have lived with in all of our lives would go where there are large roaring crowds.

I hope the kitty who was caught is alright. Some people just hate cats and are quite vocal about it. Even on this forum over time.

Dogs adore you. Kitties allow you to pet them.

I've never seen a dog pee when scared... When happy? All the time... Our vet even called it "the happy pee"...

You are telling that to a guy who got peed on by a terrified cat. Also one of the guys that caught the cat at the Miami game was on the news and said he got peed on

They said on the news that the kitty was doing well. But they didn't say how they knew or where the cat is now.
