LONDON – Although cats are normally among the more suave members of the pet world, they do occasionally manage to spoil their image by doing something that's just plain dumb.
A perfect example of this type of feline stupidity was captured recently outside a B&B in Wexford, Ireland, when Linda O'Brien filmed a stranded moggy hanging by its front paws from a second storey window.
(function(d, s, id) { var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) return; js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.3"; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));Only in Wexford would you come across this.

As the video goes on, it's easy to see just how high up the cat actually is.

Eventually, the stranded feline makes a daring escape attempt.

It doesn't work.
Finally, the cat loses its grip.

Apart from appearing a bit shaken, the cat trots away from the scene unscathed.
Remember this moment, cats, the next time a human says hello to you and you act all cool and distant.
You NEED us.
