They did in the early automobile age. Evolution in action.
That is indeed what the Mythbusters found, which led them to find a more neutral method of dropping the toast so as not to so bias the results.

When I was in Toronto in the late 60’s early 70’s, they had an “experimental” colege called Rochdale. (Ah, the sixties) The whole was a collective where people were supposed to get together and teach themselves, and all this other fluffy peace-love-dove crap. In fact, the 18-story hi-rise in the downtown was taken over by squatters, drug dealers took over entire floors, and the police would raid the place frequently. The druggies put lookouts near the lobby who would pull the fire alarm when the police approached.
I remember an interview with one policeman who describe approaching the college; suddenly “wroww!”-Splat! Someone had thrown a cat at him from the top floors and it splattered on the pavement close by.
Presumably cats have a terminal velocity that can be lethal on hard landing surfaces.

According to National Geographic’s video, and my vet, cats falling from a height of several stories survive more often that one falling from, say, 2 stories.
Obviously, after a couple of storeys, the cat gets bored and falls asleep. Therefore, it’s extremely relaxed on impact.

One of the funniest lines in TV history. I think it was said by Carlson in the show *WKRP in Cincinnati. * 
Lethal, yes. Splatter, no. If you want splatter, drop a horse.
No, I’ve seen my cat fall and land awkwardly on his back lots of times. I think it embarrasses him when it happens.
