Cats can and do suffer serious injuries and death when they fall from tall buildings. There is a condition called "high-rise syndrome" wherein kitties that fall from heights above 3 stories flip to right themselves in the air, extend all four legs outward (like a flying squirrel), and can slow their descent to the ground somewhat with the maneuver. These kitties can suffer serious injuries but sometimes escape death by employing this mechanism. Of course, anyone who tested this mechanism on a live kitty would be guilty of felony animal cruelty and would be subject to a nice, quiet room in a federal facility of the judge's choosing.

Just so you know, Frodo is right. Cats are often hurt in falls from high windows. They are brought into vets with broken legs and internal injuries all the time. What is really amazing is that more of them aren't killed in these falls.

Just so you know, they can get hurt. Cats usually don't get hurt because they have an instinct to twist their spine until they are upright. When they fall short distances cats often don't have time to twist all the way and their butts hit the floor.

Cats have a righting mechanism which when falling allows them to land the right way up and absorb the shock with their legs and remain reasonably unharmed.

You are crazy! they do get hurt even though you can't see it, their bones get brokesn and crushed inside. Don't allow anyone to do this. Just like a person, a fall, no matter how high or low, can get hurt or killed or in animals case, die a long and painful death. Don't believe? Ask a vet. Protect them please

We had a siamese that fell from a tree and landed on his side. Luckily he wasn't hurt, but if that was three stories, he would have been. Not all cats land on their feet.

If certainly this replaced into from God and a authentic deal experience with he Holy Spirit you does not be asking this question and aiming it in route of technological knowledge, searching for good judgment. supply up pretending and mendacity. Counterfeiting the consummation of the recent delivery by skill of the Holy Spirit isn't so actual mistaken and leaves one with dah what got here about. And if certainly it replaced into understood and your assertion is a project your experience you probably did not recent it as such. The observe of God (scripture) can instruct and exhibit to you and ensure what got here about. it isn't smart to have an experience with out framing the very project with the interest of God to bring about first, to have self belief for it. even as the Holy Spirit got here upon the domicile of Cornelius the gospel replaced into first preached to them and the Holy Spirit got here upon them to verify, what that they had heard replaced into of God and reality confirming that Christ replaced into Savior. the point is a robust project to percentage with everyone about the Holy Spirit coming upon you is to first coach via scripture the expectation. Now both this replaced into taking position even as the preacher replaced into education even as your body of recommendations replaced into pungent cat stuff; properly then what may you assume? you recognize what someone who have not recognize can provide to understand what yevidentlytly finally end up preserving WHAT got here about TE TE TE TE positioned your heart into Christ. truly the reality edwah z j
