Cat jumping to a counter

Real crouch, vertical leap, parabolic arc and balanced landing on the counter.

Full ballistic arc with a real crouch, push-off and momentum-absorbing landing.

Full ballistic arc with a real crouch, push-off and momentum-absorbing landing.

Full ballistic arc with real weight absorption on landing, the best result across all 3 models on this prompt.

Natural take-off and landing with a consistent tabby, but the leap is split across a cut to a second angle rather than shown as one continuous motion. Verified frame by frame.

One continuous leap from the floor onto the counter with a natural landing; the take-off frames smear with motion blur. Checked frame by frame.

Mildly floaty apex with slight torso elongation mid-air; landing and subsequent behavior are convincing.

Take-off from the floor and a natural landing, but the leap is split by a cut to a new angle at about 2.3 seconds rather than shown as one continuous motion. Verified frame by frame.

Genuine crouch, vertical launch, extended flight reach and landing on the counter, verified frame by frame; not a floaty levitation.

One leap onto the white counter, but the cat takes off from a wooden worktop, not the floor. Verified frame by frame.

Starts mid-air (no real takeoff shown) and landing lacks weight/momentum absorption.

Cat floats/levitates in an elongated suspended posture instead of a parabolic leap with a real landing.

Torso reads visibly elongated mid-air during the jump; verified via frames -- a real stretch artifact, confirmed.

FAILURE MODE: the mid-air trajectory is simply cut, the cat teleports from launch straight onto the counter.

FAILURE MODE: cuts away with a whip-pan during the jump itself, never shows the ballistic leap the prompt asked for.
