This means there should be some height that minimizes this survivability. So you have two competing factors-but with opposite relationships to the starting height. I have arbitrarily made a survivability score that is the sum of the impact velocity (multiplied by some factor) and the inverse of the impact acceleration (multiplied by some factor). Lower apparent weights are bad because the cat will be in a position to land on the feet instead of spread out and relaxed. Second, there is the apparent weight at impact. Higher impact speeds are bad because the cat will hit the ground faster. So, there could be two things that a cat's survivability depend on. In a way, lower apparent weight is bad for cat landings. If the cat didn't think it was falling, it would be in a different falling position that might not be good for landing but could produce a softer impact. But for super high falls wit high impact speeds, landing legs-down will just make things worse. Would you like to proceed to legacy Twitter Yes Skip to content HomeHomeHome, current page.

This cat instinct is a good idea for normal falling distances with the feet down, the cat is ready to land and make another move. The latest Tweets from Big Kitty (bigkittydreams).

The cat will use its (super powers to rotate into a feet down position) and brace for landing. It is during this weightless period that the cat's instincts kick in. For a short period of time, the cat will feel weightless. When a cat first jumps (or falls) from a tall window, there is no air resistance force and nothing pushing up against the gravitational force.
