Apparently cats have a low terminal velocity, so after about 20 feet they stop speeding up and start to glide/slow down. They have better chances if they fall higher than 20 feet.
I remember seeing a video of some assholes trying to kill a cat by throwing it off an apartment block, not knowing that it would almost certainly survive. The cat fell, landed, and just walked away. The guys were like 'WHAT?!'. Cats rule.
