00:00Do cats always land on their feet?
00:10Cats have a special righting reflex.
00:13When they fall, they twist in mid-air, using their bendy spines and a built-in balance system in their ears.
00:20Their front half turns first, followed by their back, making them the ultimate acrobats.
00:26This cool trick kicks in when they're just a few weeks old.
00:30So even kittens can usually land safely from short heights.
00:34But cats do not always land on their feet.
00:37If you're bringing home a cat, it is essential to net your windows and prevent them from jumping from a height.
00:44While it seems like cats defy gravity, a fall could be fated.
