cynar,

I got bored and was curious myself.

Assuming a cat can jump just over 2m (record is around 7’ apparently) then you have a launch velocity of around 6.5m/s. Plugging this in as an escape velocity works out to around a 1-2km diameter asteroid. Not huge, but not bad for a small animal.

My error bars are quite large, so it’s only an order of magnitude calculation.
