What is the best floor to throw a cat out of a building window? Seventh floor and above. As the cat falls, it will gather speed and upon reaching 100kph, the cat reaches terminal velocity, meaning that the speed would remain constant till it hit the floor. Cat has this non-fatal terminal velocity, which allow it to fall like a parachute, without ill effect. But it need approx seven floor to reach this. Thus, the higher the better. in 1987, a paper in the journal of american veterinary medical association studied 132 cases of cats falling off high-rise buildings. Ninety per cent survived, though many with injuries. The injuries rose proportionally to the number of floors fallen - up to seven floors. After that, the number of injuries sharply decline.
