My younger brother and I took the saying "cats always land on their feet" literally, and also construed it to mean that cats could fall from any distance and land on their feet. We then proceeded to toss his cat off the top of the roof of the house. The cat was fine, but was definitely pissed and took off running and avoided us for a while. Luckily this was a ridiculously tough cat - in later years I watched it successfully fight raccoons. Still, I regret this idiocy to this day.

The actual moron idea you had was that it would be in any way impressive for a cat to land on its feet if it had more distance to correctly orient itself.

Cats literally do always land on their feet, unless you drop them from an insufficient distance.

Whether they actually survive the fall or not is a different matter, but they'll absolutely hit the ground foot-first regardless of whether they break all their loving bones.
