1, the closest paper source to "Cats Can't Fall Dead" is "Cats' Tall Building Syndrome (Whitney &; Mehlhaff), this is the opening work of feline science. Based on the tracking statistics of the incidents of cats falling from buildings in new york Pet Emergency Hospital in recent five months, this paper points out for the first time an anti-common sense phenomenon-cats falling from low floors (below the sixth floor) are more seriously injured than high buildings.
