I loved hearing Simon say the words "catstronaut" and "ratstronaut" with a completely straight face/voice.

Tuxedo cats are so sweet and friendly. RIP Felicette you deserved better.

[scottbubb]

Wait, don't tell me...
The Cat landed on the moon and pushed everything off of it.

[litning]

“…gave her life.” Baloney. She didn’t give her life, it was taken from her.

[John-gxh]

So they took the sweetest, most patient cat they had, risked its life on a space flight, then 2 months later killed it for absolutely no good reason, because yeah, that's what people do.

As heartbroken as I am to hear Felicette didn't get to live a long comfy life after her space escapades thank goodness Mr Surge was able to bring this story back to the public so she can be immortalized in a statue.

Me clicking on the video like “I’m not sure I actually want to know about this…”

[TheSteveBoyd]

Leave it to the French to design a whole rocket system when they could've just used a CATapult.

[Sofa_king_tired_zzz]

The cats will never forget this disrespect.

Finally, a deep lore video on who Mr. Pebbles is and why posters of him are found all over the Commonwealth. 😂

[flareinc]

RIP Félicette. Gone but not forgotten.

[litning]

The French could have launched a chicken as well if they’d used a CATaPULLET.

I have a tuxedo cat simply because I finally gave in to my daughter begging for a cat. Two years later and that cat is more important and more loved to me than most humans... my daughter is jealous that the cat follows me everywhere I go and all she needs to come running to me is simply coming home at night. Pretty sure it's also the food and treats, but I'd bury a human in my back yard if they tried to hurt my daughter or her cat.

[tsbrownie]

If you send rats in to space, OF COURSE you need space cats to control the rat population.

[evermore]

My cat's new middle name is now 'Felicette'.

[padawanmage]

All i know about space cats is never go alone to go look for it, when there's an Alien roaming around. :D

[zombiechicken]

Poor felicette and her fellow animal test pilots. They should have been allowed to live a long life of love after their flights/decision not to fly. On a side note that pet shop was wily. Gathering street cats to sell to the scientists!!!

[agalah]

"The French copy no one and no one copies the French". Having worked on French electronics, I can appreciate that expression. As opposed to a slightly different expression. "The Chinese copy everyone, but nobody is remotely interested in copying the Chinese!"

[alexray]

I didn't think I'd be So emotional.
That poor baby lived on the streets with trust in her soul and a heart of gold, only to be abducted by people who she could finally trust.
(how else would they have known that is was sweet compliant and trusting cat.)

The BOOM!! Shot into space. What a sad life oh my goodness!

Sorry, I'm a big baby that will cry over thing out of my control.

Then to be killed for nothing

[TheDonkeyofdoom]

didnt know that a space cat story could make me weep
