📌 The “Righting Reflex”: How It Works
Cats have a <a href="https://www.chusmeando.com/descubre-reino-animal/gatos/el-cat-rusty-is-a-feline-unique-in-its-species/” title=”The Rusty Cat Is a Feline Unique in Its Species”>unique balance system that allows them to rotate in the air in less than 0.5 seconds. Here is the process:
- Inner Ear (Vestibular): Detects the position of their head.
- Flexible Spine: They first rotate the head, then the torso, and finally the legs.
- Tail as a Rudder: Helps adjust the fall (although tailless cats also manage it).
- Minimum height to land well: 30 cm (if it is lower, they do not have time to rotate).
- Most dangerous height: 2-5 floors (enough to accelerate, but not to deploy their “natural parachute”).
⚠️ Do They Always Land Well? NO.
- Cases where they fail:
- Advanced age (arthritis reduces their flexibility).
- Obesity (makes rapid rotation difficult).
- Fall from a very low height.
🛡️ How to Protect Your Cat:
✅ Avoid open windows without screens.
✅ Provide soft surfaces near high places.
