Cats with Clouds between their knees
HIgh Rise Syndrome
http://tinyurl.com/kvck8 (National Geographic video at msn video) Seems cat WILL jump out of high rise apt windows (to go after prey) They will claw through screens to go after prey A study proved that the higher up the cat jumped from, the less injury to his body (if any) Cats that fall shorter distances sustain certain far greater injuries Short answer: If the leaping cat has enough hang time his body acts like a parachute and slows him down, as well as gives him time to relax. Breaking a fall while relaxed is far better than hitting the ground while tense. |
