Alright, everyone sit down, 'cause this thread is hereby hijacked. Nobody moves, nobody gets hurt.
Albie, in your lofty, ethereal world of "theory" you are correct; Sir Isaac Newton will back you up on that one. Indeed it would be theoretically possible. However, back down here in reality, there isn't a lawn-dart driver alive with the upper-body strength necessary to impart enough angular momentum on a deceased feline to, in effect, "smash" any human, let alone one built as sturdily as a P-3 pilot.
However, I can see an instance whereby, with a live cat of considerable fortitude, such as a hungry lion or disturbed Bengal tiger, you could probably impart enough damage to equate to a "smashing." But you would have to immediately flee the area to avoid any collateral damage. And any attempt to swing an animal of such size and ferocity would probably prove fatal.
I also know that, with as many of us P-3 pilots as there are in Graceland, there are quite a few who are junior to you. So when you finally upgrade to a window seat, they might be silently contemplating ways to give YOU a drubbing using the corpses of small, domesticated pets as weapons!
