cats are amazing hunters with great reaction. Most likely small dogs or different animals won't handle such drop from 2 story building so well. Check some 1st person (cat) video to see how they behave, they can analyze and make decision very fast - human reaction time when driving car is very big comparing to cat reaction.
So this is what I find as motor inteligence. If someone can process and think very fast we consider them intelligent and in the same way we should consider cat smart how fast and well they can plan escape from dogs chasing them or they hunting for prey. Imagine how difficult would be to make robot to do this all calculation about different jumps etc.
