Your cat has a righting reflex to help her turn around in mid-air and land on her feet after a fall. The fluid in her inner ear helps with balance, her legs and feet act as shock absorbers and her flexible spine helps your cat turn around quickly. However, just because your cat can land on her feet doesn’t mean she won’t be injured in a fall. If the fall is too short, your cat won’t have the time to right herself and she could crash to the ground. If the fall is too high, your cat could bottom out and bang her belly on the ground and suffer internal injuries. She could suffer orthopedic injuries to her legs and feet or even bang her chin or head to disastrous effect. Thus it is better to avoid falls in the first place.
