    Its from Sweden, not Switzerland. And it is computer generated.
    What is wrong with some people?

    Indeed, there has been a lot of comments as this video went viral on the internet. People just love pets and they can't imagine ever doing something like that to their pets. It alll went well though as the Swiss company explained that it was just special effects. Whew! :)

    Cool! I remember Jeanne Moos(e) when she had antlers on top of her head. They removed the antlers, and then they removed the "e" from the back of her name. Wasn't that a cruel thing to do? If they can do that, then they can throw a few cats out of an airplane and let them fly. They land on their feet, anyway, and have nine lives.

    This is extremely cruel. How can anybody in their right mind do that to a defenseless animal!!!

      It's easy. You pick them up and chuck them out of a side door from an airplane. Next question . . .

      "The company’s marketing director assured the world no cats were harmed in the making of the ad. In fact, no cats flew. People were shot skydiving, and then replaced with cats through the magic of the green screen."
