Explain how a cat lands on its feet

[QUOTE=vetbridge]
I agree with Mangetout. I would also point out that cats do not always land on their feet.

Very true. Especially if you place buttered toast on their back.

The part where this vet lost my confidence in her physics understanding was when she said, “No, the cat doesn’t have to push off anything. [waves arm in front of her] I can do this, and I’m not pushing off anything.”

That made my little science loving heart hurt.
