3 Terminal Velocity of a Falling Cat

The terminal velocity of a falling cat is approximately 60 mph (97 km/h) This relatively low speed is due to the cat's small size, light bone structure, and ability to increase its surface area by spreading its legs, which enhances air resistance Once a cat reaches this terminal velocity, typically after falling about five stories, it often relaxes and assumes a spread-eagle posture, effectively acting like a parachute to further reduce impact forces This adaptation significantly improves survival chances, especially from falls of seven stories or more, where injury rates are observed to decrease
