Woman hit by falling cat to sue 200

A Chinese woman knocked out by a cat falling from a block of flats is to sue 200 residents because none will admit responsibility.

Tang Meirong, 53, of Chongqing city, was sent to hospital after being hit by the cat, reports Chongqing Business News.

"I was walking on the footpath under the building, and suddenly a heavy object hit my head. I remember nothing afterwards," she said.

After regaining consciousness, Tang called police but the building manager told officers it would be very difficult to identify the cat owner.

Tang says she will sue all 200 residents whose flats face the street if none of them come forward to take responsibility.

The cat was killed by the fall.

The cat died poor thing. I say it was thrown off

Aww...poor kitty had to cash in all nine lives, 'cause that woman didn't have a softer head to break the fall.

i think a bird tricked the cat while the window was open. cat pounced and the bird dipped out of reach while the cat swung and missed... the bird, that is. right on target with that chinese lady

i call it 'satire of a looney tunes episode'. ending with a lawsuit instead of porky pig studdering.

i just read the article over and i thought, "hmmm, if this Tang lady remembered nothing afterwards.... how'd she call the police?"

maybe im just stoned, but idk. that seemed out of place after a second look

Cats are soft and not heavy how could she get knocked out?

My cat's heavy... From a high fall, if one hit your head, it may just cause you to lose consciousness. Remember that the cat was killed by the fall, and that cats have bones, too.

Man, that would freak you out if you were just walking or standing there and a freakin cat just fell on your head.

You'd be all right back up in a karate stance looking to beat someone up.

but yeah, people would tease you if you got knocked out by a falling cat and you couldnt find anyone to actually blame it on.

Yeah, just a cat fell on my head!

[kenshinx]

poor cat... maybe its just wild cat slip from roof or commit suicide.. still a poor cat

and if thats my cat, i'll sue that lady for killing my cat

Another loon!

I think the owner should sue HER seeing as to how she didn't catch the kitty!

[Carolina Cottontail]

If she was knocked unconscious, how did she know it was a cat that landed on her???

[m. Moe]

Poor, silly cat. It should have commited suicide itself by hanging, not jumping and getting 200 sued. Bad suicidal kitty, bad!

My cat is a giant and hard as a rock eats like there is no tommorrow. But i think because he is so "cushioned" he would wind up bouncing back up like a basketball

and if thats my cat, i'll sue that lady for killing my cat

I think the owners should sue that lady. may the cat was going to land on its fet and just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time

If she was knocked unconscious, how did she know it was a cat that landed on her???

Exactly

also what kind of sound would the cat have made. Like would the lady have heard it falling like when you hear bombs dropping? i mean would the cat have whistled or just sounded like a very long yeeeeeeeeeoooooooooooouuuuuuwwwwwlllll?
