For this problem, find at least two articles on the topic and write up about half a page explaining the dynamics, making sure to cite the articles in some fashion. The articles must be from refereed publications; i.e., Nature, Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, Natural History, etc. (hint, hint). Webpages will not be accepted, but you should absolutely use the internet to help your search. Try not pay for any articles, UCSD either subscribes to, or has access to almost anything you'll need. For the search keywords, remember that motion of a cat falling (at height of less than around 120 miles) involves aeordynamics, so humorous phrase like "cat drag", "aerodynamic feline", and "axially rotated feline in freefall" may get you somewhere.
If you find any cool movies of falling cats that would be acceptable at an ASPCA meeting, you're welcome to approach Prof. Norman about presenting to the class.
As a reference here are some articles the we're found by Willie Bogan: Arabyan and Tsai, 1998; Li, 1989; Edwards, 1985.
