Special body structure:
Cats have very flexible bones and a larger number of bones, which allows them to bend and twist their bodies better.
Cats have very flexible bone connections, especially at the spinal connections, which allows them to make more free and rapid movements.
Cats have well-developed hind body muscles, which provide them with greater strength and control, allowing them to better adjust their body posture.
The tail of a cat is also a balancing organ, similar to the tail of an airplane, which can maintain balance in the body.
The role of the inner ear balance organ:
The inner ear of a cat contains a balance organ called the vestibular organ. This organ is able to perceive the position and movement of the body in space.
When a cat is in a free fall state, the vestibular organs will receive information on head posture and movement, and then transmit this information to the brain to help the cat quickly adjust its body posture to maintain balance.
Excellent distance and speed judgment ability:
Cats have excellent ability to judge distance and speed, and can accurately calculate distance and speed by observing the surrounding environment and predicting their own movement trajectory.
When jumping or falling, they make corresponding adjustments in advance based on distance and speed, so that their bodies can maintain balance when landing.
Natural instincts and training:
From a young age, cats begin to exercise their body's balance ability. After long-term jumping and climbing training, they can become more proficient in mastering body balance and adjustment.
When cats fall freely, they adopt a special posture of straightening their bodies and spreading their limbs to minimize air resistance and help maintain balance.
In summary, cats are able to always land on all four feet due to their unique body structure, the role of inner ear balance organs, excellent distance and speed judgment abilities, as well as a combination of innate instincts and training.
