A cat was seen perched atop Bolivia’s 132-foot Cristo de la Concordia statue.
S
Pretty normal cat behavior honestly
J
Just doin cat things.
W
‘Twas a good kitty.
M
Gotta get the high ground.
H
You underestimate my power!
C
yeah i would be upvoting this on /r/funny.
E
How many Cristo statues like this are there in the world really? EDIT: So, because nobody was able to answer until now I did the work myself. Counting only the tall ones (above 20m) there are 29 in the world. Here’s the list: [https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste\_der\_h%C3%B6chsten\_Christusstatuen](https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_der_h%C3%B6chsten_Christusstatuen)
T
Evidently one more than I was aware of.
W
Weirdly, the tallest one if you include the base is actually in the world’s largest Muslim country, Indonesia, and was actually built by the local government.
D
Not as weird as you might think, Jesus is pretty well respected in Islam (even if he’s not viewed as the son of God).
W
Islam is extremely utterly and absolutely against idolatry and is super ultra monotheistic. A giant statue of the son of God is about as sacrilegious as you can get. So no, it is actually kinda weird. Source: am muslim
G
I am Christian I was taught that all humans were the children of god and we refer to him as father. My priest is not happy that I call myself the son of god.
L
You think Jesus is the son of god?
W
No but Christians do
U
Not more than cats I presume
F
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christ_the_Redeemer_(statue) Look at the part that says “Similar structures”. Quite a few, though they vary in quality and exact likeness.
T
Quite a few.
E
Yes but how many? EDIT: Read main comment, I have the answer now.
M
Poland can into Latin America
C
Read this as Crisco and was very confused for a moment.
K
Bolivian here, the statue has stairs inside just for your knowledge.
C
See, that’s where these modern engineers are sheer *geniuses*. I thought stairs were for climbing.
D
Glad to hear! I was worried about the kitty
K
Oh and it also has little goles so people can see the city
I
Getting pretty liberal with “on top”…
D
Yeah, really expected the cat to be sitting on his head, a bit disappointing..
H
Disappointing, but relieving, I was going to be worried about how it would get down.
G
It’d likely be fine. Most cats are so light and fluffy that their terminal velocity is low enough they can survive a fall from any height.
N
There’s a pretty wide gap between surviving and being fine, though. Depending on what they landed on, they would very likely break their legs on impact.
T
There’s actually a middling height range that is more dangerous for them than greater heights because they can’t get their bodies positioned to slow their velocity in time to be safer. A jump to the ground from Jesus’ head versus from 20 feet would likely be safer.
V
Why are you being down voted? Cats can fall 20+ stories without injury ( as long as they are awake during the fall they can stretch causing their terminal velocity to dip below( the already liveable) 60 mph. Compared that to a person who gets at least double that ( so long as they aren’t diving), it’s minimal. It would be uncomfortable but probably he’d be uninjured.
H
William Tell’s legend would have been far different if he used this definition of on top
R
It’s a miracle
B
He has a sleeve like a wizard

This is about the only “safe for work” wizard sleeve you’re gonna see on Reddit.
A
*Heyo!*

H
It probably heard the owner booking a vet appointment.
D
Looking down on all them peasants…. Normal for any cat
M
Are there stairs inside the statue?
L
Chilling in Jesus’ wizard sleeve
[
OP must be new to cats.

We all thought he came back from the dead; but it turns out, it was cats all along. The Egyptians were onto something
D
“Peasants!” – the cat
B
The cat is not on top
T
Kitty is trying to figure out how to knock it off the mountain.
T
THAT IS NOT ON TOP
D
I see no God up there… OTHER THAN ME
M
That is not what “on top” means.
K
If it fits, it sits!
