    Cats only need about 1-2 feet to right themselves. A fall from about 1 story is not likely to hurt a cat

      As evidenced by my furry wazzock, who despite being old, senile, deaf, possible cataracts, has arthritic legs, and recently expensive thyroid treatment, still managed to fall out of an upstairs window with no ill effects…

      True, I misspoke. Cats right themselves very quickly. I think I mixed it up with something about humans. Pretty sure they need more like 4 feet to turn over completely, but I suppose most cats don’t start a fall completly upsidedown.
