How high could I jump if my legs were as powerful as a house cat's hind legs?

I realise this is going to go down as just another baseless assertion, but an almost universal problem for cat owners is that the cats jump up onto the kitchen worktops - worktops are more than two feet off the ground

I said 2 feet IIRC in my first post. It turns out I recalled wrong and the standard height all animals can jump to is about 1 metre/3’4”. Or slightly higher than the average worktop. I am sorry if I did not make that clear.
