So why did my cat break when he dropped a mere 2 feet then?

As I type, he's asleep on the sofa, Shadow is on top of the clock and Amber is sitting on the microwave staring at a cupboard door not 4 inches from her face... it looks like she's done something wrong and has been made to stand in the corner....

The obvious reason your cat is sitting on the fence - is because he can. He also falls off for the same reason....
