Cats would have already pushed everyone off the edge if the earth was really flat

I think the cats argument is flawed because cats clearly cannot breath in space. I find the turtles argument more convincing though since they have a shell so they are more adapted to survive the harsh conditions of space. See for example https://fsmedia.imgix.net/ed/5c/f9/87/0cc4/4603/a0c9/f0e080d53e8d/i-mean-it-may-as-well-just-be-this-right.jpeg
