Patent Number: 202141048690, Applicant: Dr.S.Balamurugan.A falling cat always goes from feet-up position to feet-down position, in a falling reference frame without violating the conversation of angular momentum. The first thing a cat does while falling is figuring out which way is up. This is capable using the gyro in the cats ears. Research shows that the safe landing of a falling cat is due to a phenomenon called cat riding reflex. Once a cat falls, it divides its body into two separate rotational axes that are tilted from one another. During falling the front part is released with decreased moment of inertia so that it can spin faster. At the back the moment of inertia is increased, so that a large twist in the front part is equivalent to the smaller twist in the latter.
