Cats never fail fascinate human beings.They can be friendly and
affectionate towards humans,but they lead mysterious lives of their
own as well.They never become submissive like dogs and horses.
As a result,humans have learned to respect feline independence.
Most cats remain suspicious of humans all their lives.One of the
things that fascinates us most about cats is the popular belief than
they have nine lives .Apparently,there is a good deal of truth in this idea.
A cat's ability to survive falls is based on fact.
Recently the New York Animal Medical Centre made a study of 132 cats
over period of five months.All these cats had one experience in common;
they had fallen off high buildings,yet only eight of them died from shock
or injuries.Of couse,New York is the ideal place for such an interesting study,
because there is no shortage of tall buildings.There are plenty of high-rise
windowsills to fall from!One cat,Sabrina,fell 32 storeys,yet only suffered from
a broken tooth.'Cats behave like well-trained paratroopers,'a doctor said.
It seems that the futher cats fall,the less they are likely to injure themselves.In a
long drop,they reach speeds of 60 miles an hour and more.At high speeds,
falling cats have time to relax.They strectch out their legs like flying squirrels.
This increases their air-resistance and reduces the shock of impact when they
hit the ground.
