    in a case of fall even directly on top of the kitten on that pocket other bodyparts would absorb most of the force and the kitten would likely just flop a bit to the side thus not getting that much weight on them.

    also have you ever met cats, they be quite squishy.

    I would say in case of a fall the kitten would likely be the uninjured one








  • kidney disease is one of the most common ways cats die of old age so super efficient kidneys dont come without a tradeoff. Cats have evolved to live in very arid enviorments where saltwater is all that is availible so the tradeoff might have been worth it. ability to drink saltwater only would work without kidneys being prematurely overstressed would be likely if animals had higher normal salt content but that would mean they would need a lot higher salt intake making living inland harder.
