Question:

What is the maximum amount of water that can flow through a 1/2 copper pipe in one minute?

And please don‘t give me a formula. I just need a simple answer.

Answer:

Well my guess is that you won't be able get the cat too wet because it is going to jump and run away from the spraying water. So you are just going to make a mess for nothing.
Sorry dude no simple answer you need to know the pressure it can take so you need the wall thickness or Schedule. I think the American codes are in ANSI might be online somewhere check it out probably the calcs needed too. You see all you have is a cross sectional area you need to know the flow velocity. To complete the calculation.
The flow rate would depend upon the pressure.
