A hawk snatched Eddie the cat off of his owner’s fifth-floor terrace, and started to fly off to devour the animal. But the cat was just too damn fat — about 15 pounds of white furball — and the hawk only made it about 50 feet before dropping the massive feline. A garden umbrella broke Eddie’s fall and he survived with some bumps and bruises. (NY Daily News)
