For The Times Magazine, a “ !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! ,” if not the ideal space cat, from February 1958. As experts were contemplating the medical specifics of what weightlessness in space would do to a living, breathing human being, an unlucky kitten was volunteered as a stand-in, floating from the hand of Capt. Druey P. Parks inside an !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! jet at 25,000 feet. The article, by Donald G. Cooley, characterized the cat’s reaction as “bewilderment.”

Did the pilot survive the cat's subsequent wrath?

I would love to see how a cat handles a week on the ISS

Some people call me the space tabby, yeah
Some call me the mouser of love
Some people call me Maru
Cause I fit in boxes like a glove

People talk about me, baby
Say I'm doin' you wrong, doin' you wrong
Well, don't you worry baby
Don't worry
Cause I'm right here baby, right here, sleeping on your tome

Cause I'm a picker
I'm a licker
I'm a lover
And I'm a purrer
I take my naps in the sun

I'm a shedder
I'm a shredder
I'm a midday bedder
I sure don't want to help no one

Cause I'm a picker
I'm a licker
I'm a lover
And I'm a purrer
I take my naps in the sun

I'm a shedder
I'm a shredder
I'm a midday bedder
I sure don't want to help no one

I'm the cutest thing
That you ever did see
I really love your heat vents
And so do my fleas
Lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey some of the time
Ooo-eee baby, you better not forget dinner time

Cause I'm a picker
I'm a licker
I'm a lover
And I'm a purrer
I take my naps in the sun

I'm a shedder
I'm a shredder
I'm a midday bedder
I sure don't want to help no one

Cause I'm a picker
I'm a licker
I'm a lover
And I'm a purrer
I take my naps in the sun

I'm a shedder
I'm a shredder
I'm a midday bedder
I sure don't want to help no one

People talk about me, baby
Say I'm doin' you wrong, doin' you wrong
Well, don't you worry baby
Don't worry
Cause I'm right here baby, right here, sleeping on your tome

I'm the cutest thing
That you ever did see
I really love your heat vents
And so do my fleas
Lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey some of the time
Ooo-eee baby, you better not forget dinner time

I let my cat loose in the car once on the way home from the vet and she promptly took a shit in my lap. I can't imagine that happening at 25,000 feet.

Vehicles give cats motion sickness unless they get used to them as kittens. I think that would have been fitting for Capt. Parks.
