The cat is fast, and heavy, but he's pissed, and a lot stronger. Coupled with the sudden shock of the blinding light, he easily tosses the cat aside, and gets to watch it tumble about eighty feet, strike a branch, fall off, and keep going until he loses a clear sight of it, in the brush below. It almost certainly didn't survive that fall, and, if it did, it wasn't going to be in any shape to go after him, again.<br/><br/>He'll be able to make his way to the ground, without further incident, though as he nears the forest floor, the branches thin out considerably; the best way of descending would be to scale down the side of a tree.
