# how in the hell did they do this study :P
...'For instance, an average-sized cat with its limbs extended achieves a terminal velocity of about 60mph (97km/h), while an average-sized man reaches a terminal velocity of about 120mph (193km/h), according to the 1987 study by veterinarians Wayne Whitney and Cheryl Mehlhaff.'

I wonder if Wayne and Cheryl are still behind bars

# do the same principles apply to other members of the cat family - lions, tigers etc.
Clearly more research needs to be done.

we need to try it with men, women, and children ...short, tall, thin and obese.
