During a fall, a cat can reflexively twist its body and right itself using its acute sense of balance and flexibility.[20] This is known as the cat's "righting reflex." It always rights itself in the same way, provided it has the time to do so, during a fall. The height required for this to occur in most cats (safely) is around 3 feet (90cm). Many cases are known of cats falling from substantial heights (5 to 10 stories) and surviving almost unscathed.
To achieve this, cats probably relax their ventral muscles, "flattening" their bodies to some extent and creating more resistance to air. Contrary to popular belief, cats without a tail also have this ability, since a cat mostly moves its hindlegs and relies on conservation of angular momentum to set up for landing, and the tail is in fact little used for this feat.[21]

The cat when falls down straight from the height of 10 feet will always be found standing on her feet.

The cat will ultimately die.
That is the fate of all cats, and so MUST be true.
