If one were to throw a cat from the top floor of a high rise block of flats (about 14 floors), would it still land upright with all four paws on the ground?
If one were to use some form of binding material e.g. tape or string around it's four legs together prior to launch, would it still land on it's paws?
If it were blindfolded and bound, would it still land correctly?

OK dude you realize you are starting to sound like you are trying to abuse a cat. Seriously though Yeah at that height if they are blindfolded it won't be a problem. They aren't using their eyes. They are using their body's internal mechinism to turn them straight. As to if their legs are bound I'm not sure. I mean I think they would still TRY to but that it can't quite happen. Also if they DO land on their feet it CAN cause great injury, so DON'T try this at home. Now if you have their back almost on the floor and drop it, no it can't because it doesn't have the time.

Good thing you are just asking, and not experimenting!
Q1* It might. But it would risk having its jaw broken if it misjudged. The higher the fall, apparently the more chance the cat has of turning itself around. Beautiful creatures!
Q2+ I have to say "yes and no" to this question because I don't know whether you want to do this yourself. It is a very troublesome question indeed and I suggest you try it on yourself first.
Q3+ Again, test it out on yourself first. And good luck trying to blindfold a cat.
You know what, if you were talking about a human baby, there'd be sirens at your door right now!
If you want proper answers, make your motive clear.

Theoretically, when dropped from fourteen floors up, it would land on it's feet, just about five floors below ground level!
Regards blind-folded and bound, I think you should probably get out more! Just because you like the idea of having a poor defenceless pus*y (they'll censor 'cat' next) bound up and ready to be experimented with, doesn't make it right.

No. TThat is a myth. Throwing a cat from 14 floors is animal cruelty, because they can break legs just like a human being.
Maybe you should watch a few episodes of Animal Cops on the animal channel.

the butter continues to be an affecting element. the butter makes the only section heavier than the different making the section with the butter on the floor. its a definite characteristic of cat.. thats why its reported to be that cats have 9 lives

Unbound cats do land on their feet from anything above about 3 feet high.
They get seriously injured falling off buildings so do not try this at home.
As for binding them what kind of psycho are you?

I'd say do to the person who have intentions of doing those to the cats instead!
