Twist a falling cat to land on its feet using the righting reflex
Cat Landing Simulator
Twist the cat's body and tail mid-air to rotate and land on its feet.
Real cats use angular momentum redistribution — no external torque needed!
Q/E — curl front body left/right A/D — curl rear body left/right W/S — swing tail left/right Space — tuck/extend legs

The Righting Reflex: Real cats right themselves by curling their front and back halves
independently. By tucking legs to reduce moment of inertia and extending them to increase it,
they can rotate without any external torque — conserving angular momentum in zero-gravity-like free fall.
Use body curls and the tail as a reaction wheel to land feet-down!
