Never mess with gravity, nobody seems to have ever told this kitten

When it comes to learning about gravity, one can do it either the easy way, i.e. in class, with the help of a physics teacher, or the hard way, i.e. by trying to jump off a table and landing head first on the ground.

Since cats are not yet allowed to attend physics lessons, Skimbles, the cat featured in the video above, had no choice but to go for the second option.

The footage shows the brave kitten trying to do a Spiderman impersonation and prove that nothing, not even gravity, can hold it down, and failing miserably in the process.

Some might argue that the fact that Skimbles is a tad too plump is to blame for the cat's failure to reach the windowsill.

As far as I'm concerned, however, the kitten would have successfully completed this jump had it also worn a Spiderman suit when attempting the leap.

Just for the record, this video was posted on YouTube back in December 2013. However, it was only recently that people took a sudden interest in it, and took care of turning it into a viral sensation.
