Certainly when it comes to my Smudgey kitten anyway! She is the world's most uncoordinated cat.
She regularly falls off the couch, skids across the coffee table when she lands on it, and skids right off, loves to climb over our shoulders, but falls and has to dig her claws in to our back to not fall off.
Recently she was on the coffee table trying to get onto my lap. She had her front paws on my legs, and her back paws on the cofee table. Her back legs started sliding, and she just fell straight down onto the floor and landed on her belly. Splat!
Just now she was playing on the little cat tree in my study (which is only about as tall as she is stretched out), and climbing up it, when I have no idea what happened, but she just fell backwards and landed on her back on the ground. She was so embarrassed I think. She made a funny little grunting noise, then went tearing out of the room.
This is a regular occurrence for Smudge - she does something incredibly uncoordinated, and lands really awkwardly. If the other cats manage to misjudge something (even Stumpy without a tail for balance), they manage to twist themselves around to at least mostly land on their feet.
Poor widdle Smudge!
