Cat Attempts Jump From Snow-Covered Car

From the author: "Shot with Samsung Galaxy Note 3

Waffles the Terrible (Vaflik, Вафлик) fails a lot... every day at one thing or another.
This kitten decides to jump from roof of snow covered van to roof of snow covered garage.
First attempt he saves himself... but only to fail moments later. He then collects all his wits and leaps very hard, but doesn't move an inch, as he nosedives passed his destination. He is named Waffles the Terrible because he just is. He is about 7 months old and very fluffy (not fat).

We took him in from the streets when he was 2 months old and all by himself, living under some wood and even though he is big fail we love him anyways."
