Righting Reflex. This allows the cat to turn in mid air. It is a natural instinct for cats to land on their feet using the Righting Influx.

Answer:

Cats have a righting reflex, which allows them to turn while in the air, so that they land safely on their feet. Using their sensitive ears, they are able to maintain balance and orient themselves, so they are not injured from a fall.
