    Glad the guy helped in the end but holding his hands like he was gonna catch the cat was... Not smart. A falling cat is like a falling knife. Don't try to catch it, you will get sliced.

    For real. My cat was still tipsy after the castration narcotics and wanted to climb to his favourite spot but couldn't walk straight. I had my hand under his to catch him. He scratched me like hell. Well he didn't hurt himself.

    Camera pulls back yo reveal a drop that in no way whatsoever would hurt any cat that actually knows how to cat.

    Then again, judging by this guys struggles, its best not to rely on his natural cat skills to land on his feet.

    Actually, short falls are more dangerous than long falls.

    Because cats can rotate mid-air to land on their feet, and (most) cats can survive terminal velocity falls with little issue, falls too short for a cat to turn over can be much more dangerous.

    Not sure if I'd say that most have little issue on the terminal velocity thing. But it was an interesting study https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-rise_syndrome

    That's the idea I was referring to, yeah.

    Do note that cats right themselves in just a few feet, it's the supposed survivability at terminal velocity that's interesting. 90% cats that fall more than 2 stories and survive long enough to be brought in for treatment survive, but the vast majority have bodily trauma, and most sustain fractures of some kind.

    Just so you know, there is a conflicting study mentioned at the end of the main section that refutes the original claim:

    In a 2004 study, it was reported that cats falling from higher places suffered more severe injuries than those experiencing shorter drops.[5]

    In the main section they call out that there may be a survivorship bias. Basically, you only bring in the cats that survived a high drop because otherwise the cat is clearly dead.
