1. Cats Always Land on Their Feet

It’s a popular belief that cats always land on their feet, thanks to their natural righting reflex. While it’s true that most cats can twist mid-air to orient themselves, this ability is not foolproof. Falls from significant heights can still result in serious injuries like broken bones or internal trauma. Windows and balconies are particularly hazardous for curious felines.
