Your cat has an amazing ability to turn around in midair during a fall so she lands on her feet. This righting reflex is possible because of your cat’s flexible spine that allows her to turn around quickly and the fluid in her inner ear that helps her keep track of which way is up. However, even with a righting reflex your cat can suffer injuries in a fall. Your cat may not have the time to right herself in a low fall so she could crash to the ground. She could be severely injured in a higher fall. She could suffer internal injuries as she bottoms out on landing and her belly hits the ground. Orthopedic injuries are possible as her feet and legs act as shock absorbers. Your cat could die if she bangs her head on the ground. Thus you should protect your cat from falls.
