I recal some years ago, there was a scientific study ( no doubt paid for by the Feds) of the survivability of cats when then fall from high rises..I can't remember the results, but surprisingly, there was a definite coorelation between how high up, and the chance for survival. And the results were counterintuitive.

It was something like.up to 5 floors..pretty good..5-10 floors , not so good..10-20 floors..they did much better..above 20..lights out..

seems, from 10-20 floors, they had time to orient themselves.."relax" and prepare for landing..
