Unraveling the Mysteries of Strange Cat Behaviors

Landing on All Fours

Regardless of the height or the starting point of a jump, a cat will always manage to land gracefully on all fours. This remarkable ability is attributed to their "righting reflex," which kicks in as soon as they start to fall from a significant height.

Although it may appear as if cats are performing acrobatic feats, it is simply their reflexes working to help them rotate their bodies mid-air and land in an upright position. With the assistance of their keen sense of hearing to orient themselves and their exceptionally flexible bone structure, they can skillfully maneuver to avoid any potential mishaps upon landing.
