According to a 1987 study called "High-rise syndrome in cats," a cat which fall from a height of 2-6 stories is more likely to die than a cat which falls from a height higher than 6 stories. There are two theories - one is that after the cat rights itself, it relaxes and prepares for death, turning it's body sideways, increasing drag and loosening up for the impact . The other theory is that the pool of evidence (more short-fall cats going to the vet than long-fall cats) is biased because no one brings their pancaked cat to the vet after it falls 30 stories and dies. Still....I could believe it.

all there is to do is take naps and wait patiently for death.
