Synopsis: Newsreel footage shows examples of a new high-speed camera which captures super slow motion.
Reality Cats: Of course one of the demonstrations is of a cat turning in midair to land on its feet. At least in this experiment the cats are only dropped a short distance. The first is a bicolor cat who turns upright when dropped from only two feet and lands on a blanketed surface.
A longhair tortoiseshell cat is then dropped from a man’s arms onto a table.
Final Mewsings: Cats appreciate courteous considerations during experiments.
