SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) — A 10-week-old kitten plummeted from a tall Savannah, Georgia bridge into the water below but survived and swam to shore.

Police suspect somebody threw the animal off the span and are looking for suspects.

The kitten is being called "Nemo" by caregivers at the Savannah animal shelter where he's recovering after Thursday's ordeal, said Julian Miller, a spokesman with Savannah-Chatham Metropolitan police. Miller visited the cat at the shelter Friday, and says he's expected to survive.

"No broken bones," Miller said. "He has several lacerations over and below his eye and his chin."

"The cat is very, very shy right now, and trying to find things to hide under, not very trusting," Miller added.

Construction crews reported hearing a noise Thursday and then seeing the kitten falling toward the water.

"But so far we've found nobody who actually saw anybody on the bridge throwing the cat," Miller said, adding it's unlikely a young kitten would climb the bridge on its own and then fall.

Kitten Swims To Shore After Being Tossed From Georgia Bridge

If someone did this, he should be thrown from the same bridge repeatedly and has to swim to shore until he dies from exhaustion.

Reminds me of something I did: I was about 15-years-old, and I had driven to pick up my Mom from work one Saturday. I parked in front of the store she worked at to wait on her to get off work. Something in the rear-view mirror caught my eye in the empty lot across the street: Two of my classmates were beating a cat to death with sticks. Each time a blow landed the cat's legs stiffened.

I jumped out of the car and ran over to them and let one eat a fist sandwich at full speed. I spun around and gave the other one the same treatment. They were almost knocked out, but I waited until they could stand up and then broke their noses to get the blood flowing. I proceeded to give them a slow bone-fracturing, concussion-inducing. brain-swelling beating. One sat on the ground trying to cover his head with his hands. I grabbed his hands and pushed his finger backwards until they broke and then broke his nose to the other side.

The cat had already died. One eyeball was hanging from its socket. I picked up the cat and took him home for a decent burial.. Neither boy ever returned to school. I don't care if they died.

Thanks for listening to my rant. I still get mad when I think of it.

A warning sign of sociopathy in teens is animal cruelty.

That bridge is way the hell up there, like 135 feet at high tide. It is also about a mile long from base to base... I guess some sick fkuc threw the cat from a moving vehicle since it is hugely unlikely the animal walked all the way up on it's own. I hope someone treats the perp in similar fashion if they catch his sorry ass.

It's entirely plausible the kitten got there by his own means and accidentally fell off the bridge.
Possible, yes. Plausible, no.

I'm with the police on whether someone threw the kitten off the bridge. I think it is highly unlikely that the kitten fell off on its own. Here's a cooment to the newspaper story:

"This kind of cruelty implies a dangerous mind.
And the fact that there have been several of these lately makes you wonder if it isn't the same person."

If it's the Talmadge Memorial Bridge it has 185 feet of vertical clearance to accomodate ocean-going ships.

It was just senseless savagery taken out on a small animal. I'm not a violent man when people decide to be mean to one another, but an animal is a totally different matter.

I just don't understand you guys.

Some asshole chucks a cat off a bridge and you bring out the pitchforks.

Some **** goes to Africa and blows away lions, cheetahs, etc, and you are all cool with that. https://www.thevettebarn.com/forums/o...-what-cun.html
