Following in the footsteps of other cat flinging photographers, there is a set on Flickr devoted entirely to airborne cats. It seems that these cats become airborne voluntarily which is a bonus. Halsman needed three assistants plus his wife to take the first photo. They really can't pay you enough to throw an angry cat across the room into a shower of water.

To continue with the cat trend, if, like me, you enjoying spending hours of your day looking at things cute and fluffy there are plenty of lolcats here: www.icanhascheezburger.com.
