Why do cats always land on their feet?

Atually, cats don't always land on their feet but they have the ability to land of their feet easier than other animals. This is because their nervous system is set up so that when a cat is dropped or it falls from something, it can right itself in the air usually fast enough so that when it falls, it will fall on its feet. We don't have that ability. A lot of the animals don't have this ability, but cats seem to be very agile. I think it's their sense of balance in their ears that they sense things are out of shape and they will align their head and the rest of the body falls into place and drop on their feet unharmed.
