:33 < do meowbeasts aaalways land on their f33ts? :33 < or is this a lie conspiracy myth? :33 < i mean if every single kitty cat out there could land on their walk nubs without a nick or a scratch… :33 < that would just show how pawsome and resilient and special they are and id be happy :DD :33 < but is it REALLY really true? :33 < science users please help me!
...cats actually have an easier time landing on their feet from greater heights because the fall gives them time to reorient themselves and brace for impact. which isn't to say this isn't true of shorter falls, but still. yes it's true mostly...
As a biologist, I can confirm, t)(ey do (usually) land on t)(eir feet! Because damage being taken over several points leads to t)(e fall damage being spread out across t)(e limbs! Muc)( safer t)(an falling on somet)(ing important like t)(eir )(ead! T)(ey even )(ave a variety of adaptations for it, including and excellent sense of up from down, an especially bendy spine, and extra cus)(ioning in t)(eir paws!
