It might be bumping up against a parcel border which it cannot cross (this was the cause for me).
It might be hitting the self-movement limit (I've seen this). Of course, after a while it will stop moving, then decide to move again: so it can work its way, slowly, from one corner to another (seen this, too).
It might have fallen onto an invisible prim (I've done this, as a 'safety net' because Charm didn't like hearing cats splattering onto the ground).
And, yes, I have watched a cat fall from 4096 to 20 and go SPLAT! It's a cat, it rolls over, sits up, says "I MEANT TO DO THAT!!!" and walks off prissily, of course. It just took a few hours to make it all the way down (self-movement limit).
As I said in another thread this morning, I did a lot of research into what was going on back in mid-2011. And I do not expect we'll ever see a fix because of the difficulty and lag issues.
Thanks Tad, of all those possibilities I think self-movement limit explains it for my flying cats. I have no safety nets and the cats are a long way from a parcel or sim boundary.
Time for an experiment - Rezz a MegaPuss on a small platform below my platforms - then remove platform prim and observe. Make sure the cat is awake and can walk/run. A Mega should make a larger splat - unless it lands in the duck pond or swimming pool.
Location Is Everything?
