      They have evolved in a very cool way- their balance is excellent because their tail is so good at helping them to land!
      Their brain is also very good at helping them to land on their feet 🙂

      Cats are one of my favs. Cats also have very good propioception (balance + spatial awareness (even in tail-less Manx cats, Daryl)), and very good depth perception (Most hunters have good depth perception, otherwise they might miss their prey. That’s why their eyes are positioned towards the front of their heads, rather than to the side).
