A big freeze is sliding its way across America covering the land in ice and snow, and also deep freezing animals, one of which has been successfully thawed out. For all of our advances in medicine to use low temperatures for healing, time travel and as a type of stasis, mother nature proves once again that she has the upper hand. A cat aptly named Fluffy was frozen to the point that a vet could not register a temperature; it was brought back to life after being thawed using towels, warmers, and IV fluids. Humans have survived being thawed in this manner, though it can be hit or miss as to whether or not they will be revived, and in what condition.

Dunno - I mean, yes, there are a lot of internet videos of cats doing funny/stupid things but there's no shortage of videos of humans doing stupid things (even if you don't include obsessively videoing their cats in that total).
TFA doesn't say if Kitty got frozen while trying to copy an "ice bucket challenge" video... and do you want to bet against some sick moron out there putting a cat in the deep freeze after reading this story?
