This is a typical air conditioning unit in what appears to be a block of flats so it is quite high off the ground. The cat likes the air conditioning unit perhaps because it gives off heat or the opposite. I'm not sure but they enjoy wriggling about on top of it without realising that it is about 20 or 30 feet above the ground. And I suspect that the ground below is concrete and therefore if the cat had fallen, they might have harmed themselves quite badly.
The cat probably likes to wriggle around on the air conditioning unit because it feels nice. It's a form of massage. It reminds me of the way domestic cats like to wriggle around on rough concrete. It has the same effect on them.
When cats fall there is an optimum distance above the ground at which they are less likely to harm themselves because they need that time to fan their bodies out to break therefore with air resistance. In the video the distance is not high enough to employ the full braking effect.

| Woman saves her cat from falling as a height to concrete below by grabbing her cat's tail. This is a screenshot from the video above. |
But the woman was quick acting and I guess did the natural thing which was to grab a piece of their cat's anatomy which was readily available; their tail. It looks a little bit brutal but highly effective. Afterwards she turns towards the camera and smiles but I think it's a nervous smile because it must've been a heart stopping moment for her.
I suspect that the cat is a full-time indoor cat living in the apartment with the woman who saved the cat from falling.
