Y'know that scene in Milo and Otis, where Milo, in a box, falls down a waterfall? Well, the first Milo didn't survive that fall. I wanna say... the first seven didn't? Maybe more. But there were a whole bunch of Milos that died during the making of the movie.
That's really not a very big drop. I can't see how any cat could die from that even if things did go horribly wrong. Even if it tipped over and the cat fell out at the very top of the drop it still wouldn't die. The depth of the water and speed of the current are also not enough that the cat would drown.
Edit 2: And here is a discussion from snopes. If you scroll down to the post from Bonnie he/she goes into detail about the original films dubious history.

I would question the source of such claims. If you can provide a link it would be much appreciated.
Edit: I found this, FWIW.
