Cats Always Land on Their Feet: Is it a Myth?

Well, my girlfriend has two cats. And they are always jumping off counters and beds. She has one cat shady.

Shady is just the most lovable cat in the world.  He is so flexible and can almost fit anywhere.  Its kind of funny, because he is such a good hider.  He is just a wonderful cat all in all.  But, when he jumps off of beds or counters or even off the couch, he lands on his feet but falls right over.  He can jump up to the kitchen counter and fall off as soon as he gets on it.  He can even be walking around and then randomly out of nowhere he will trip over his own feet.  It's pretty funny.

My girlfriend has another cat named shadow.

This cat is the prettiest cat in the world.  She is so loveable and sometimes loud,she meows almost every minute of the day.  Whether she wants out or shes hungry or even if shes just laying down.  She even kind of meows in her sleep.  She is about the most dunceiest cat ive ever seen.  She is very beautiful, but (not trying to be mean) she is very stupid, she will be in a room with the door closed and hear a door somewhere else in the house open/close and she will dart to the door of the room shes in and slam smack into the door.  When she is in a room with people and the door is closed she will sit there and stare at the door knob thinking its going to open.  But even tho she is a klutz, she jumps of things and lands perfectly on her feet.  She jumps off of the kitchen counter, *PERFECT LANDING*.  She jumps of the bunk beds *PERFECT LANDING*.  Even tho she is much fatter than shady she lands on the ground better. 

Why is this?  Its because her weight on her little body pushes her towards the ground and centers her there, as with shady he is very skinny so when he lands he doesn't have any fat to to help him in place, plus he has bad balance.  Or at least that is my hypothesis.

Have any questions about this subject or anything you want to know about the cats?
