Well, not exactly always.  When I was (probably) about 13 or so, with the
consideration for other creatures common to boys of that age, I wondered if
a cat would fall on its feet if thrown in the air with rotation (axis about
a line through the hip joints.)  That one didn't.

...and given that "a cat always lands on its feet", we derive a
paradox I've come across in various forms...let me check...yup, here
it is in one version, which has the advantage of the fact that the
query is posted from our neighboring town of Cheshire CT.
