Well, I have thought of two answers:

a) The cat will eat the toast and land on its feet.
b) more explanatory: cats tend to land on their feet if they fall from short distances thanks to their body structure. And toast… its just toast :)

The cat would survive and the guy… oh well - gotta make sacrifices.

And that was probably because the building was higher than 4 stories and the cat smashed its head.

ok … back on topic … if the buttered toast is butter side down on the cat’s back then it’s obvious … otherwise the cat shoots straight up into the sky and hurdles non-stop into the sun … and then into a parallel universe in ancient Alexandria’s where it eventually becomes depressed and ruins some amateur writers psyche …

depends if the cat is fat an dnot very athletic. if th ecat is fat, he or she will eat the toast and not on his or her feet because the sheer weight of the cat will make him fall so fast that he has no time to land on his feet.

if the cat does not like the toast, he will not eat it, but if he is fat it is unlikely that he will land on his feet still.

however if the cat is skinny it will land on its feet, and then catch the toast.
