The free-floating clavicle combined with an extremely flexible backbone allows cats to perform a mid-air righting reflex in as little as 0.3 seconds. They twist their front body first, then their back body follows, using their tail as a counterbalance. Kittens develop this ability by 7 weeks old. Surprisingly, cats falling from higher floors often survive better than those falling from lower ones because they have more time to spread their legs like a parachute, reaching a terminal velocity of about 60 mph.
