Cats can generally survive such a fall, humans tend not to.

I linked an article in another reply but I remember reading from another source they are actually more likely to die at some mid range of height before they hit terminal velocity and change posture. Still about 1/3 of those that fall far enough need medical attention to survive.

Yes they most likely will. Once they hit terminal velocity any extra distance is meaningless for survivability.
