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

and still does it persist... :doh:

Also visit the Ultimate Toolbox blog (New)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?

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

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.

The majority of cats fall out of buildings because they fall asleep and 2 floors is not enough time for them to wake-up. When they are awake they have sufficient time to turn over and assume the landing position, which btw, isn't complete when all 4's are facing down. They significantly arch their back and prepare to absorb the impact. I did not make this up either. I say it on discovery or tlc a few years back so that means some one actually researched this.
