Blows Glass Globe Around Cats
TO WIN a bet, Dick Manley, California glass blower, performed an unprecedented glass blowing stunt. He placed three kittens in a glass tube and within three minutes fashioned it into a perfect 26-inch globe with the kittens inside and unharmed. A small hole admitted air.

How did he keep the cats from bursting into flames as glass is only fluid at very high tempuratures.

What kind of sicko even makes this bet? “HEY, bet I can blow a suffocating glass ball around a litter of kittens after I place them in a glass tube…” “Bet you can’t…”
And the kittens lives are never the same…

And the kittens cooperated with him? Or were they sedated

I’m still wondering exactly how he did this, sedated kittens or not. Sedated would mean extra, awkwardly shaped, weight while trying to blow the glass. Non-sedated would… Well, kittens are quite active.
