And I had a really good "I guess cats DON'T always land on their feet" comment to make.

Cats suffer less damage from higher falls. Because cats don't give a fuck about physics.

I downvoted at first, thinking 'oh god I didn't want to know- now my days ruined...' glad I kept scrolling you son of a bitch.

If the cat had really fallen, it would've landed on its feet.
MySchlongIsToLong
A cat's terminal velocity isnt enough to kill it. so cats can survive most falls
yankinmyD
I thought it exploded

Did it for the life insurance claim. Fucker has done it 5 times already

Dammit... I was getting ready for all the feels, and you pull a live cat out of the pavement.
Nivison
I was wondering how'd he got injured, since cats are supposed to be able to live from falling from 10 storys without injury. :D

Tears fully stacked, and then they stopped... fuck you OP +1

Would you like us to post a picture of a dead cat to make you feel better?

Like I don't get why I kept scrolling the through but now I'm happy I did.. ya butthole.
TooLazyToDoThat
Story time: when I was 4 years old. I threw my neighbor's cat from 7/8 floor. It survived but the old lady who owned it was mad at 1/2
AcidRain
My husband told me no one calls people buttholes except for me... I like you :)
arielsh
I like you too :) butthole

Wow i'm actually fucking relevant

I'm also happy I did ya butthole

Imagine a post with not only legit kitty death but gore as well. Some Imgurians would never be the same again. Scars. So many scars.

I recently read that the highest recorded fall a cat survived was 26 floors. So, this didn't scare me.
creefy
There's actually a certain height where cats will die from a fall. I think its only about 40-50 ft
bunduz
Depends on how hard you throw it.
Shinotsa
Cats who fall from less than 6 stories are injured more than falling from greater than 6. They need time to position and slow themselves
welluhwhatdoyouwantmetosay
They tense up. At more than six floors, they relax.
farwall
I read that too, there's a deadly zone for them where it's high enough to hurt but not high enough for them to have time to do what they do.
MaladaptedMedic
Technically a cat has equal chance of survival falling from 6 stories and 600 stories. It's terminal velocity is not a fatal velocity
FatBastardVegetarian
The thing I read said as long as they have oxygen, the can survive from just about any height... craziness... they're the debbil.
pekuja
I could be wrong but I would expect that the 26-floor fall wasn't on pavement, but perhaps grass or something else a bit softer?
FatBastardVegetarian
Nah, cats go all "flying squirrel" from great heights. They don't reach terminal velocity.
ScottySpaffordBassWiz
Meanwhile, scientists are throwing cats off of buildings..
ultramegalisk
Terminal velocity is lower than required for fatal impacts for long falls, but short falls, a cat might not have enough time to orient self.
HadMeSomeChickens
Yeah, I actually think I heard a story on NPR and the 5th floor was the worst. Either that or the 9th. But anything above it's like whatevs.
wobbu
IIRC, it's not about orienting. They spread their limbs out to lower their speed. On a short fall there isn't enough time to slow down.
idislikecomingupwithuniqueusernames
It actually has to do with them relaxing after 4 or 5 floors. When tense they're more likely to hurt themselves. Weird fact of the day :-/
UncomfortableTruths
Yeah the terminal velocity for cats (around 60mph) is roughly half that of humans (around 120)
RatalieArcadia
Larger drag coefficient. Praise the floof.
DogsEatDogfood
Actually, James Clerk Maxwell did experiments on this already in the 19th century, and cats need very little distance to right themselves.

"It's science if you write it down."
TastyBrainMeats
Not necessarily. It's not science unless you write it down - you can still write down something without it being science.
BitchButcher
You're right.
FaptainPicard
cats can correct themselves on falls on like 4 inches
