    Falling from 20 stories: "Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah~~~~~~! Boom!" Falling from 2 stories: "Boom! Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah~~~~~~!!" ... just a joke.

    A cat is more likely to survive falling out of a window from 5 stories than from 2 stories. But can anyone tell me why? (And yes I do know the answer) "Until the day of his death, no man can be sure of his courage" -- Jean Anouilh

      It needs some minimum flight time to swirl its body around so it can land on all 4 legs? Regards, Nish

          Because it has more time to rotate in order to land on its feet?

                    hum, well, for what i understood (maybe i'm wrong, hehehe), then, when you fall from 20 stories, then you scream for a loong time before meeting the ground, but when it's done, no more sound (you're definitely dead). but when you fall from 2 stories, first you fall, and then you complain because you ache... ;P

                      It's more likely to take five stories more seriously than two?

                        That may be the answer he is looking for, but I don't buy it. I have owned cats and expermented with dropping them from heights of between 5 feet and 1 inch. :-> They can spin around and land on their feet at heights above a couple of inches.
