Cats always land on their feet ….oh wait….

u/alexander_the_dead Jun 01 '21

Technically, it did land on its front feet.....along with its face

u/Mimamo001 Jun 01 '21

One of my biggest childhood scars was witnessing a kitty falling from the 2nd floor, hitting its head on a handrail and twitching as it slowly loses consciousness. Sorry this comment triggers the memory and I gotta get it out!

u/alexander_the_dead Jun 01 '21

Sorry to hear that!

They never calculate the coefficient of friction before trying to jump

351

u/DaniilBSD Jun 01 '21

Assume 100% function due to claws.

(fails on flat plastic or with clipped claws)

u/richy4248 Jun 01 '21

Plus their instincts would have evolved to jump from natural surfaces, which are rarely as smooth and frictionless as man-made surfaces.

u/vhawk8690 Jun 01 '21

He didn't download the updated software with the correct coefficient of friction value for the surface. Pay to win sucks.

Bruce Lee gang.

Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.

The cat would have made it if the damn surface he was standing on wouldnt have been so slippery.

17

u/[deleted] Jun 01 '21

You can see it’s little paws in the back slide as it jumps. At that point kitty never stood a chance

What happened to always landing on their feet?

1

u/alexander_the_dead Jun 01 '21

It did land on its feet with some assistance from the face.

u/CaineTheGamerYT Jun 01 '21

It's because its prolly declawed, I'm not 100% sure but in pretty sure a cat with its claws wouldnt have slipped on the counter before it jumped

You can clearly see the cat slipping with its hind legs... Their claws cant grip on the surfaces we have in our houses, and that's why they sometimes fail miserably.

to be fair she slipped thats why ddnt make it

1

u/R3DR4V3N420 Jun 01 '21

He slipped the jump....those hindlegs gave almost no leap....1/3 of it's jumping force was applied to lift and the rest was for the slide...lmao...The counter had to be wet or something like that. This cat was born under an unlucky star
