To study the medical effects of weightlessness in space, scientists convinced Captain Druey P. Parks to toss a kitten in the air while cruising in his F-94C jet at an altitude of 25,000 feet. The following photo, taken in February 1958, captures the floating feline [2880 by 2356 pixels]

After the jet landed, it took technicians 5 hours to clean all the cat piss and shit off the inside of the cockpit………and Captain Parks.
Kitty looks like its having a fun time
Imagine being a cat, living your usual cat life, then this happens
looks like photoshop and the cat would spray him with urine and feces so the fact he;s not wearing goggles is sus
Pilot probably did a nice controlled push to hold zero G’s for a bit. Fairly sure that cat never trusted another human… Lol.
Why are there multiple comments saying the cat would shit? Do cats immediately shit in zero G? Is this common knowledge somehow? What do you all do to your cats?
Poor kitty, fk them
An upset cat in a cockpit, what could go wrong?
Surely they were trolling Captain Parks…no???
