Watch a cat get dropped again and again — for science

8/10/2012

There's no excuse for being mean to an animal — unless it's for a cool science experiment. Destin from YouTube channel Smarter Every Day wanted to reveal how and why cats always land on their feet. Clearly, the only way to find out is to drop a lot of cats. Over and over again. Destin's explanation includes complicated phrases like "angular momentum" for the smarties, cool slow-motion footage of falling cats for dummies, and a promise that leading feline GiGi was not hurt during the making of the video.
