No, it was scared of the person beforehand. You can tell by how it tries to slink by them and gives them a glance.

I'm talking about when it landed. The cat didn't expect the drop or the drop to be that big and it scared itself when it landed.

And I'm saying it was scared before and launched itself off a cliff knowing it would be fine and still hid because that's how survival instincts work.

no lives were wasted in that jump lol. cats know how to jump from heights that high up. its a special thing going with its core muscles and legs + making themselves parachute in a way.

Put down the pipe; that shit's making you delusional. No cat would intentionally attempt that jump unless motivated by fear to escape some perceived threat. The height is too extreme, and definitely exceeds what one would routinely execute safely.

While I don’t think it was an intentional jump the point ghigoli was making is still true. Cats know how to fall and spread their body mass out so the impact isn’t as hard on them. But still, you can tell it was accidental lol

I believe I watched a Cat documentary ( I know I need a life lol). They use every muscle in their body when they jump. So while I believe the cat landed like a pro and was unharmed. I think it kinda feared for its life. Since it’s still hid after the jump.

A cats terminal velocity is low enough that as long as it lands on all fours and absorbs the impact through its spring legs, cat will be safe. Cat is at most danger and injury potential is in the first two stories (20ft) where they may not have had the time to rotate correctly.

Melodic_Duck1406 t1_j6dpsgs wrote
I can't remember the numbers, but basically there is a danger zone for cats, if they fall from a small height, they use their landing prowess and survive, if they fall from a large height, they can sort of glide in a similar way to flying squirrels but nowhere near as affective, look at the way this cat spreads its legs as it falls.
But that only works above a certain height, where there is enough time for the cat to reduce its speed. Between these two zones, too high for landing to absorb the impact but too low to slow the descent, we most unfortunately get a squished, or very injured cat.
fataldarkness t1_j6duyno wrote
That is unfortunately (likely) a myth. Cats often do die from significant falls, it's just that no one brings an already dead cat to the vet so it doesn't get reported. It's a textbook case of survivorship bias.
Advocate_Diplomacy t1_j6e2e78 wrote
Being too low to slow a descent doesn’t seem like a logical concept unless we’re talking about deploying parachutes. If a cat is capable of slowing down it’s fall, it doesn’t need to exceed the speed it can slow itself to. How could such technique slow you down from an unacceptable speed, but not prevent you from reaching that speed? It doesn’t make sense.

Fun Fact:
Cat can survive really great heights! Like 15 plus stories! This is because they can position themselves in a way that their terminal velocity is lower than the impact needed to sustain extensive damage.
In fact, the most dangerous height they can hurt themselves is between 4-5 stories because it’s high enough for them to get hurt, but not high enough to position themselves.

>In a 2004 study, it was reported that cats falling from higher places suffered more severe injuries than those experiencing shorter drops
bremidon t1_j6ci3p6 wrote
I followed the links to the original sources.
Your first one comes from "The Straight Dope". It's an entertaining place for odd facts, but I would not treat it as a primary source. In any case, when we read about Cecil's attempts to clear the matter, we eventually reach this point:
>I called the Animal Medical Center to see if this possibility had been considered. The original authors were long gone, so I spoke to Dr. Michael Garvey, head of the medical department and current expert on “high-rise syndrome.”
Dr. Garvey was adamant that the omission of nonreported fatalities didn’t skew the statistics. He pointed out that cats that had fallen from great heights typically had injuries suggesting they’d landed on their chests, which supports the “flying squirrel” hypothesis.
So while technically true that this point was raised in the not-entirely-primary-source article, it was pretty much dismissed by the expert interviewed for that same article. When pressed, apparently Dr. Garvey allowed that reasonable people could disagree, but the fact that the expert falls on the "it's wrong" side, this point should probably be taken with suspicious eyes.
Your second one is more interesting. There have been different studies over the years and in some of them, we do get reports of more serious injuries in cats falling from higher places. In others, there is a dramatic decrease in injuries. As far as I was able to gather in a cursory look through the data, this is still a completely open question as to which data is more representative. Perhaps someone has a metastudy on this.
The nature of the injuries changes dramatically, though. At higher distances, cats can prepare themselves, get righted, and loosen up their legs for landing. The injuries tend to be more in their chest cavity. At shorter distances, the injuries tend to be more of the "broken limb" variety.

I don't know man. If a child can hold a cat in their arms belly up, drop it and the cat will land feet-first, I somehow doubt that "a couple of stories high" is somehow not enough time for the cat to right itself and prepare for the impact.

I would recommend that you follow the links in the Wikipedia article to the original sources. You'll see why the data makes clear that there is a difference. (The cutoff seems to be around 6 to 7 stories)

Wel positioning itself isn’t the only issue. It’s reducing the terminal velocity. I can pull my parachute 50 feet before I hit the ground and it will fully expand. But does it have enough time to reduce my terminal velocity? Probably not

DasMotorsheep t1_j6d5dc3 wrote
It's quite simple:
This kind of statistic can't prove anything because you're only looking at a certain type of outcome. You're not recording how many cats die on impact.
Example:Say you throw 100 cats out of a 5th story window, and 50 survive without harm, 20 die and 30 get sent to the vet with various degrees of injuries. End result: 100 falls, 30 hospitalizations.
Now you throw 100 cats out of a 15th story window - 20 survive without harm, 70 die and 10 get sent to the vet. End result 100 falls, 10 hospitalizations.
If you only look at "number of total falls vs hospitalizations", it would seem that falls from the 15th story are safer.
It's also quite a strange claim that 4-5 stories high isn't enough time for the cat to prepare itself for impact when they can actually right themselves within like a meter and change of free fall, as countless cat videos on the internet will show.
Straightup32 t1_j6dai2l wrote
Well if we want to get technical with it, I said that cats CAN survive from great heights. I think one example is enough to prove that theory correct. “Can” and “do” are wildly different claims.
I’m merely saying that it is possible for a cat to survive, and it is. And it is because of the reasoning I mentioned.

>In fact, the most dangerous height they can hurt themselves is between 4-5 stories because it’s high enough for them to get hurt, but not high enough to position themselves.
Straightup32 t1_j6dk8iz wrote
Well it’s the truth. Cats can survive those falls by positioning themselves in a way that reduces their terminal velocity.
And the inverse is also true, injuries and death are sustained when the cat can’t position itself to reduce terminal velocity.
The only speculation is the height at which they aren’t able to accurately position themselves and reduce terminal velocity in time before impact.
And in that regard, my speculation and evidence is just as good as yours.

no emphasis needed, I guess.
Straightup32 t1_j6dp7fo wrote
Now we are arguing semantics.
“In fact” is just as much a phrase used to tie two points ago as it is a literal declaration of fact.
And if we are going to take things at the literal definition of fact, it’s impossible to obtain any concrete fact from this si auction because it’s just open to so many uncontrollable variables. So the sincere interpretation would have just been that I was using it as a phrase to tie two statements together.
And for the record, it’s not like my speculation is unfounded. There are plenty of statistics and observations that corroborate my speculation.
Edit: and you seem to be missing some key points. One of them being it’s not enough to position itself, it needs time to reduce the current terminal velocity, that’s not instantaneous.
DasMotorsheep t1_j6dr9ps wrote
> it’s impossible to obtain any concrete fact from this si auction because it’s just open to so many uncontrollable variables.
Point to you. In the meantime I did some googling on the terminal velocity of cats and how long it takes them to reach it, and found varying statements ranging from 60mph @ 4 stories to 45mph @ 7 stories... So if we go with the extreme of 4 stories and 60mph, it could be reasonable that cats who fall longer would be able to control their fall better and actually reduce their initial terminal velocity that they reached in an uncontrolled fall.
It still sounds a bit extreme to me that a cat would need this long to reach its "ideal falling" position, given how quickly they can actually position themselves in the air during very short falls.
In the end, I guess I have to concede that my speculation and evidence really isn't any better than yours. Anyway. Thanks for keeping the discussion civil, have a good one!

This is all the evidence I need to prove my claim.
My point was that it’s possible, and it is. You can argue how many are injured, but I said survive. You can argue about how many die, but it only really takes one example to show that it is in fact possible.
But thanks for all of your pompous responses

Take your cat to a vet. Cats don't look hurt until they're in really bad shape; they are a prey animal, and don't want to appear vulnerable.
Spyger9 t1_j6c3zki wrote
Hilarious in a couple ways:
-
If we're classifying animals as one or the other, cats are absolutely predators.

You're suggesting that animals don't want to appear vulnerable because they are prey, which implies that predators operate differently.
Not saying your advice is bad, but the logic seems pretty shoddy.
bremidon t1_j6cgu5y wrote
Correct. They are not apex predators, so they have to keep their heads on a swivel and check their 6; but not only are the predators, they are obligate carnivores.
Cats are notable for how well they can hide pain. I would be curious if there are other animals that do this as well or better than cats, because I am not aware of any.

Many predators have their own predators, unless they are apex predators. And animals are opportunistic, they take advantage of vulnerabilities of others.
selfishcaboose t1_j6c5v6g wrote
Even their eye shape makes them predator. Prey animals have a wider field of vision with sideways pupils. Predators have the vertical for help in depth perception and light capture. Ofc it's not for all of either but generally if it's forward set eyes and round or vertical slit it's a predator. Just best for hunting moving prey.

Werechimp t1_j6ez0nr wrote
They’re getting downvotes because, while they’re not wrong, it’s contributing to a misleading idea in this thread that cats aren’t prey animals because they’re predators. They’re both. They’re predators to small creatures and prey to bigger ones. So they have characteristics of both predators and prey because they fill both roles.
bremidon t1_j6h09um wrote
No, you are the one who is misled. While it's true that they are prey to some animals, they are most definitely predators first and foremost.
Otherwise, you would have to call humans a prey animal, as in some situations, we are. Now *that* would be highly misleading and completely take any meaning out of the words "prey" and "predator".
The eyes should be your hint. They are 100% optimized for being a predator. That they are not an *apex* predator is clear to all of us here.
Wine-o-dt t1_j6e525b wrote
They are very much predators, but not apex predators. When it comes to predators that are vulnerable to being eaten themselves cats are very high up on that list. They are not classified as a prey animal, which is more reserved for obligatory herbivores. They are however very susceptible to predation. Their entire behavior schema is to conceal themselves not only because they are predators, but also they tend to be prey themselves in almost all bio systems they are in. I think op did not mean them to be mutually exclusive, but failed to properly define small cats role in a bio system

Something like that.
Doing a bit more research on this, I discovered that it's a bit more complicated than I realized. Yes, there are studies that say exactly what I wrote. There are also studies that say that the severity of injuries goes up from higher distances.
What is absolutely true and supported by all studies is that cats falling from above 6 stories do have time to relax and prepare. This is shown by the nature of injuries reported. Below 6 stories, it's mostly broken limbs, which implies that the cats were still stiff. Above 6 stories it becomes injuries to the body, implying that the cats had relaxed.

Doable, but painful and not really good for the joints. Could get an injury or could be fine and just sore. By the looks of it this one wasn't injured but is also now feeling it.
When we moved from a one-story with carpet to a two-story with tile floors, our cats were fascinated by the stairs and had to spend an hour or so scampering up and down them to satisfy their curiosity. One of them was prone to really wild zoomies, and on his first one in the new house, did several rounds of galloping from one end to the other including up and down the stairs, and finally included a giant flying leap from the top of the stairs. He landed fine - they usually do - but you could see he was shocked at how hard the landing was, and he was uncomfortable. He made a sorrowful little "ow" noise, and limped over to the sofa where he stayed put the rest of the day. He was fine, but he'd learned his lesson. Next day, back to the zoomies, but he never made that leap again for as long as he lived.
