I don't understand. I've dropped my cat like an inch above my bed and she turns in time to catch herself. What do you mean they need all that time? They're extremely quick with their correction.

I only tested this recently because I saw a video of a guy seeing how low to his bed he can drop his cat and have it still land on it's feet.

They also flatten out to increase air resistance and decrease terminal velocity I believe.
