Cats cannot sense when they are going to fall because the simple fact is that a cat will injure itself less if it falls from a second or third floor than a first.
Once a cat can feel the acceleration of a fall it takes a posture of shrugging with it's paws stretched and it lets this posture go once it hits the floor deadening the effect of the impact. If the fall is started from a lower level the cat does not have time to postion his body correctly.

Yes, they do, and so they fall softly.

depends if they are on the edge or not...but probably not because they react too fast

they should, because they always land on their feet.
