Cats are known for their grace, agility, and swift movements, and they often jump and climb to high places. But, the idea that cats enjoy falling from heights, is a myth. In fact, falling from a height can be dangerous and even fatal for a cat. Falling from a high place puts the cat at risk of sustaining injuries to the skeletal and nervous system, or sometimes, it can cause death.
Cats have a natural instinct to explore and climb, they can usually navigate and move swiftly even from high places, and they can judge distances and heights correctly. However, cats can sometimes misjudge a fall, or lose their balance which can result in a fall or accident.
Cats are highly curious and inquisitive animals, and their habit of jumping and moving from high places can give them different views and allow them to inspect their environment.
