just another dead cat bounce
Is this cat made of rubber?
Seriously , cats do not even really bounce.
Chuck one off the top of a skyscraper and see what happens.
Splat.
Actually,
The terminal velocity of a falling cat is often non-lethal.
Real live data even suggests cats falling off the 7th floor or above will have less injuries compared to 6th floor or below:

Yeah,well actually........
That only works up to a certain height...
Because terminal velocity just keeps on increasing with height
It does indeed, but the drag would increase as you reach lower altitudes, the air is "thicker" (thicker down here and thinner up there) but these things would not have much effect unless you flung the furball outta a whackawhack or a plane.
But in this case it is just because of the weight of a cats head, the cat may land on its feet, but when it does so, it can only absorb so much of the down force, if there is too much down force the little kitty can not stop the force of the weight of its head, so the head continues to move downwards and it hits the ground.
(and it will splat, not bounce)
