Claim: Cats always land on their feet no matter how they fall

The claim that cats always land on their feet is false. Research from veterinary sources indicates that while cats have a righting reflex that helps them land on their feet most of the time, there are significant exceptions. Factors such as fall height and the cat's physical condition can prevent a safe landing. Some sources, like Wikipedia, emphasize that extreme falls can lead to serious injuries or death, contradicting the claim. This perspective is supported by veterinary experts and mainstream animal behavior studies, while alternative sources may downplay the risks involved in falls. The models diverge sharply — treat this as higher-uncertainty. Gemini comes in highest (50%), while Perplexity is lowest (7%). OpenAI expresses higher confidence than Gemini on this claim. While the majority of evidence supports that cats do not always land on their feet, some sources may suggest that cats have a high success rate in landing safely. However, these claims often overlook the critical factors that can affect a cat's ability to right itself during a fall, such as height and physical condition. The existence of conflicting opinions does not change the overall consensus that the claim is false, as the evidence clearly indicates that there are circumstances where cats can be injured or fail to land on their feet.
