    so i have a cat who jumps on my 2nd floor railing but i'm afraid he's going to slip one day and fall to the first floor (15-20 foot drop)

    is there anything i can do besides just block off the stairs going up?

    Your cat will be fine, even if he does fall, he will land on his feet.

    Cats that fall from the range of 2-6 stories high are actually more likely to get injured/die than a cat that falls from 7-30 stories high. Look up feline pesematology.

    <SPAN>All earthbound falling objects (including cats) will accelerate only up to a certain speed known as terminal velocity at which point air resistance becomes strong enough to counter-balance gravity. For falling humans terminal velocity is around 130 mph but its less than half that speed for a plummeting pussycat<SPAN>.</SPAN></SPAN><SPAN> Once terminal velocity is reached, the sensation of falling diminishes. The cats are thought to relax once this happens causing them land in a better position and explaining why falls from higher floors seem to be more survivable.</SPAN>
