This is wrong on so many levels ! First, no cat would have stayed put during

And as for Annie, well, she went over all right, but not the railing of the
Golden Gate Bridge.
Annie Edson Taylor was an American schoolteacher who, on her birthday,
October 24, 1901, became the first person to survive a trip over Niagara
Falls in a barrel. Her motives were financial but she never made much money
from her adventure.
