I would say no. The taurbody has those four legs, and so has stopped itself. However, the morphic half is still in motion, inertia. With a normal cat, the mass of the head is stopped because there's not much mass to stop, so the neck serves it's purpose. With a chakat, there's considerably more mass. With the thinness of the join, there is insufficient muscle to stop the motion of the morphic half. So...

The next frame has hir face planted right on the ground >:)

Unfortunately, I think you're right Echoen. Poor chakitty...

This genre of images is in much much MUCH need of further exploitation. ^_^

I don't remember if leonardo had signaled you this, it has some further notes stemming from your image:

Shi could poot hir hands on the floor to prevent the face plant.

However in the coliny stories they do not land on their feet. One [forgot yhe name] lands nicly in hir head.

the longer torso would make landing on the feet easer than for a cat of similar mas if they land on all 6

As it's been said, there's the morphic half. But it's fantasy, so it's well possible chakats have developed an adaptation to allow them to do so, if they're supposed to be "the purrrfect furry creature". Now your friend gotta just use his imagination...

If the chakat in question keeps enough presence of mind, letting the legs fold on one side to turn at least some of the momentum of the fall into a roll instead of trying to absorb the entire thing. Rather like a human parachutist using the parachute landing fall to absorb impact.
