Cats have a special sense of balance. And if they do fall off something, they will rarely hurt themselves. It is sometimes said that a cat always lands on its feet. And that is true. If they fall backwards, they will first turn their head and front legs, then their back and back legs towards the ground. By stretching and extending their legs, they can break the fall. Just like a parachutist does. In this way, they can break almost any fall.
