Some cats have survived falls of over 65 feet (20 meters), due largely to their “righting reflex.” The eyes and balance organs in the inner ear tell it where it is in space so the cat can land on its feet. Even cats without a tail have this ability.

I fell of my back step and just about took out a hip. No cat like reflexes here.
A cat can jump up to five times its own height in a single bound.
I'm lucky to hop over a snake as I'm walking the trails.
The life expectancy of cats has nearly doubled since 1930 - from 8 to 16 years.
I think the life expectancy of all mammals has expanded since the 30's as well.
A happy cat holds her tail high and steady.
I walk like a proud peacock with my tail swinging in the wind when I'm happy.
