Righting Reflex

The righting reflex is a natural and instinctive behavior observed in many animals, including cats. It refers to the ability of an animal to reorient its body to an upright position when it is placed in an unusual or inverted posture. The righting reflex is crucial for an animal’s survival and daily activities. Observing a cat’s righting reflex showcases the animal’s remarkable ability to quickly adapt to changes in its position and maintain a sense of balance, which is especially important in their arboreal and agile lifestyle.
