No thats if we are talking about acceleration, which is things "technically" accelerate towards the ground at the same rate (actually the more massive something is the more the earth accelerates to meet that object) But when you talk about the harder they fall you are talking about when they hit the ground or a change in momentum (also known as an "impulse") which is mass dependent and you .... ohhh my God Phy 213 flashbacks ... sorry.

Yes, this is correct. My statement was based on what I thought Feddoc was trying to say, which was that the heavier you are, the
faster you fall. Remember, the graviational attraction between two bodies (in this case, between the earth and a human body) is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them and directly proportional to the mass of each body. Since the earth is much, much, much greater than the human body (and cat), the difference between the gravitational attraction of the earth on the human compared to the cat, is negligible. But I get what you're saying, and Feddoc was being sarcastic anyway.
