  • Why do cats land on their feet? Science Short

    Why do cats land on their feet? Science Short
    May 1 2026
    In this week’s Science Short, we explore how cats pull off this incredible trick without pushing off anything at all. It’s all thanks to something called the air-righting reflex, and a clever two-step twist that lets them rotate their bodies in mid-air. We’ll break down how their super-flexible spine helps them turn, why height plays an important role, and what happens when they reach terminal velocity. It’s not magic. It’s not luck. It’s physics… with a furry twist.
