Bratty bedtime behavior

Not sure I believe this But Yale university says you multiply weight in lbs times the distance of the fall force needed to stop it. I get a weight force of 352. If true get out of the way. 22x16=532 lbs xof force. I checked it and it’s true. You better duck.

The paws are a smaller contact point so it not as bad it is was something as large as a hippo foot.
Also you have to add the speed and bounce in the calculation somewhere.

Impact Force

Impact forces acting on falling objects hitting the ground, cars crashing and similar cases.

Here is a calculator

Calculates the free fall energy and velocity without air resistance from the free fall distance.

Your welcome.
I had to look it up. Back when I used to do a lot of swimming and diving off the boards
I had looked into what speed and impact force you would hit the water. It's just amazing
how much energy a cat can absorb into there legs and muscles or how much a person
doing a cannon ball into the pool is absorbing. Do it wrong and you come up quite red
Belly flops or back landings do sting a bit I can say from first hand experience.

As for bratty cats, Xander likes to get on my belly and kneed to wake me up. Waking up to
his sharp little claws even with him not trying to get you is not fun.
