A cat can use its feet after a fall, taking advantage of the principle of constant angular momentum.The principle of constant angular momentum states that if no external torque acts on a system, the total angular momentum remains constant.
When a cat falls, it twists its body in mid-air and lands on its feet. It does this by keeping its angular momentum (spinning force) the same during the fall. This helps it turn safely without falling on its back.
