“Clearly, the cat let the eagle go when he got too high. Actual truth: The car killed the cat OR the cat was already dead before the eagle let go. Cats can survive being dropped at any height. The terminal velocity of a cat which is able to right itself is slow enough that cats can fall from any height and, with a little luck, remain uscathed.”

This has been proven empirically? Any height?
I would like to see this presentation at the Science Fair.

I witnessed a cat thrown off the top of a grain elevator, over 100 feet. Cat did land on feet but impact broke its legs and probably ribs. It survived for a bit, poor thing.
