Can kittens survive a fall?

It's quite possible for a cat to survive at her terminal velocity of 60 miles per hour, as demonstrated by a study done on 132 cats falling an average of 5.5 stories, published in The Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association. 90% survived, albeit many requiring medical attention.

Falling wrong from a very low height can have fatal consequences. That said kittens are fairly low mass and their bones are actually pretty flexible.

Subsequently, question is, can a cat survive a fall from an airplane? Cats are smaller and generally furrier than humans, so their terminal velocity is much less. They do fall out of tall buildings, and about 90% of those who are treated survive. Higher than five or six stories, and it might as well be a mile, because the cat has already reached terminal velocity and is upright.

Also question is, do kittens get hurt when they fall?

Even though cats usually land on their feet, they can still sustain injuries when they fall. Sprains, broken bones, head trauma, and chest or abdominal injuries may result when felines fall.

How can you tell if a kitten has internal bleeding?
