Contrary to popular belief, falling cats do not always land on their feet. In fact, every day cats sustain serious injuries from falling out of open windows, off balconies, and from rooftops. Cats do not fear heights and will often leap after a bird or a butterfly only to find themselves falling through the air. The trauma sustained from a fall of over two stories (24 to 30 feet) is known as high-rise syndrome.

If a cat falls a short distance, he can usually right himself and land on his feet. If he falls more than one or two floors, however, he may sustain injury. Although he can right himself, his legs and feet cannot absorb the shock.

Cats have exceptional coordination and balance and a flexible musculoskeletal system. They are normally able to orient their bodies in space in such a way as to land on all four limbs.

This is true, my cat once jumped off the roof next door, i'm not sure why he thought he could clear a jump of that mgnitude, but he tried, and when he landed he dislocated both his back legs...po po kitty was just kinda stuck lieing there on the ground... we noticed his absence at dinner, cause he always showed up to get hand outs at dinner, and he wasn't there, so we went looking for him and found him there.
