Why do cats always land on their feet?

Do you know why cats always land on their feet? There are a few reasons behind this feline phenomenon:

Righting reflex – Cats have a special reflex, known as a vestibular apparatus. This allows them to determine which way is up, regardless of their physical orientation. 

Flexible spine – Cats have an incredibly flexible spine. They can twist the front of their body in the opposite direction of the back. This helps them flip their feet down fast enough to land on all fours.

Extra Skin – Regardless of breed and size, every cat has extra skin. When they fall, they can stretch their limbs and use that skin to increase drag. Essentially, cats use their extra skin like a parachute.

If you want to try and spot a wild Pallas cat, you have to go to Mongolia and be ready to wait. Pallas cats roam the plains at a very slow pace because their biggest predators come from the sky. The Mongolian countryside is a vast plain, giving these cats few places to hide. So, Pallas cats defend themselves by staying still and blending with the landscape. Their ears are located on the sides of their head, rather than on top; making their presence harder to notice. Because of their color, size, and ear shape, you could easily mistake one for a rock until it moves.

The cat’s meow

  • Cats can make over a hundred different types of vocalizations but they only meow to humans. 
  • A cat’s purr vibrates between 25-150 HZ. These vibrations are associated with bone growth, wound healing, and joint repair.

  • Much like a human fingerprint, a cat’s nose print is unique to them.
  • Cat tongues are coated in little spines known as papilla. These are made of keratin, the same substance that makes up human fingernails.
