The way it hid right away tells you it scared itself.

Wasn’t intentional

No, it was scared of the person beforehand. You can tell by how it tries to slink by them and gives them a glance.

I'm talking about when it landed. The cat didn't expect the drop or the drop to be that big and it scared itself when it landed.

And I'm saying it was scared before and launched itself off a cliff knowing it would be fine and still hid because that's how survival instincts work.

My cat looks just like this when it shits somewhere it knows better than to shit.

Ascribing it's behavior to fear of human is mere guesswork

What you described would still be fear of human. Fear of human that found my shit pile.

You're suggesting that your cat does something it knows it isn't supposed to and then acts like this, but isn't scared? What is it then?
