I once read about a man in a large city in the USA who lived in a multi story condo on one of the main streets, in one of the apartments above the first floor. The weather was hot and he had the window open and his cat was asleep on the sill. He sneezed violently and the cat was startled out of its sleep and unfortunately leapt off the sill. The cat landed on the head of a motorist who was driving by in a convertible. It was the rush hour. The resultant accident took some while to sort out. The cause took longer to sort out. I think the cat survived.
