The ability of a cat to find its way home is called “psi-traveling.” Experts think cats either use the angle of the sunlight to find their way or that cats have magnetized cells in their brains that act as compasses.
I once saw the movie "Incredible Journey". I'm pretty sure Stinky the Cat is smarter than that Siamese. She would probably just get on a train and come back home as soon as she figured out the schedule and track-delay times. Around here we call that "Amtrak-traveling".
Some cats have survived falls of over 65 feet (20 meters), due largely to their “righting reflex.” The eyes and balance organs in the inner ear tell it where it is in space so the cat can land on its feet. Even cats without a tail have this ability.
Stinky the Cat says that is because they need room for the tapetum lucidum. I can't argue with logic like that.

A cat's whiskers are thought to be a kind of radar, which helps a cat gauge the space it intends to walk through.
I'm pretty sure we covered this already. Are you getting tired? It's Saturday night...
Today there are about 100 distinct breeds of the domestic cat.
I doubt Egyptian Fell dog is one of them. That would make 101. Yay.
