A VIDEO of a kitten rolling down stairs like a real stuntman has become a hit on TikTok. Juice the kitten is still adjusting to his new surroundings, and stairs are his biggest challenge so far.
It all happened in an instant. Juice cautiously stepped onto the first step, then lost his balance and started falling. He rolled down the stairs like a little gymnast all the way to the bottom. Luckily, thanks to his flexibility, he eventually landed on his feet and walked on as if nothing had happened. He was probably a little shaken by the fall, but he escaped without injury. The video’s description includes a humorous comment: “Stairs: 1, Juice: 0.”
The clip, which was shared in late September, has racked up more than 12 million views and two million likes. “Lucky kittens are so resilient, they can survive anything,” wrote one viewer, while another joked: “It’s okay, he’s got eight lives left.”
“All I see is a cat that landed on its feet,” concluded a third.
Do cats always land on their feet?
You’ve probably heard the saying that a cat always lands on its feet. While this time the saying turned out to be true, that’s not always the case. According to PetHelpful , cats have a special reflex that helps them turn their bodies in the air and land on their feet.
However, the outcome of the fall depends on the height and angle. Cats do not have supernatural powers and can land on other parts of their bodies. Fortunately, Juice was lucky – his reflex worked and everything ended without any negative consequences, except for a slightly shaken pride.
