Wouldn't the consequences likely be threatening us, since we're the ones dangling a presumably irritated cat?
I don't see what consequences might weigh down upon the foes in here, since if our arm/hand survived dangling the cat well enough to let it drop at a chosen time, said cat would probably just land and leap right off any person below it.
While trying to figure this poem out, I was at one point imagining dangling a cat like you'd dangle a cat toy, and wondering how big another cat would have to be to have the dangling cat be toy-sized. . .
But of course, the consequence there, for the dangle-ee, would just be the possibility of some play with no ultimate payoff.
Ah, the old dangling cat ploy.
