Are you to have me believe, as God's own truth, that a hole full of water, a mere cistern, itself took parachute in hand and affixed it to this feline?
Presumably, the reasoning goes, a falling cat would choose the deck of a Japanese warship over the open water.
In any case, they got a bit further along with dropping bombs filled with small bats implanted with incendiary explosives, which would then roost in wooden buildings. That project was only cancelled when they had atom bombs working.

Straight to the middle of his designated landing zone. As we all know, he's a well prepared kitty.

During WW2, the US explored using cats on parachutes to guide bombs to targets. The idea never was put into practice, though.

Huh, I wonder why having the most chaotic animals known to mankind guide explosives to a precise location never took off...
