People say cats can fall from any heights and survive - is it true?

Well, cats have the ability to land on their feet all the time. They can survive bigger falls than humans, but they can't survive ANY fall. There's a limit of course, but yes... cats are able to survive fairly large falls and they there is a 95% chance that they do land on their feet. I for one have seen a cat fall on it's side. I hope I answered your question.

my outdoor cat jumped from a 2nd story deck and wasnt phased and he wasnt that young.. i dunno if he would do it now that he is 16 but i wouldnt put it past him
