Working the math, it was about a 50' drop, so at 32'/sec/sec (gravity), and taking account of the spread eagle form of the cat on the way down (air resistance), I'd say he was doing about 35mph when he hit the ground.

Hey!! that was fun! Let's do it again!! I live for this @#$%.

I live deep in the woods and have seen clumsy squirrels fall out of a tree from at least that height
and run away unharmed. And no, they were not flying squirrels, although we do have them here.

Cat has four legs to absorb the impact assuming he lands on all four and runs away. Me....landed on two legs falling 30 feet and broke both my legs. Maybe I should have tried the spread eagle thing.

I fell a couple years back, only 12,13 feet, heck I thought I was gonna die.
But I landed on my side, no feet or hands, just a Big ole thud.
