look at the cat’s fail shadow…

but by saying 9.8 m/s you assume that the cat was at the top of his parabolic path (aka, current vertical velocity = 0), furthermore you assume that a constant lateral velocity of 9.8 m/s over time t will cause the cat to travel the same distance laterally as an acceleration of 9.8 m/s^2 over t seconds from an initial velocity of 0.

That being said, most of the people who corrected you and called you a moron have themselves managed to fail physics.

P.S. I think the value you are trying to recall is 9.8 m/s ^2
P.P.S gravity would still pull it down, no matter how fast it was going
P.P.P.S. without knowing the exact distance the cat was from the countertop, or its altitude in relation to it, it would be impossible to say exactly how fast the cat would have to be travveling to reach the countertop

using fancy numbers/scales doesn’t make you smart… you just fail harder

Assuming the kitteh did not jump straight up, but rather from some elevated surface such as a table or adjacent counter, it has momentum going toward the counter which is from our perspective to the left. As long as the cat is traveling faster than 9.8m/sec laterally, it should make it.

If you see it like that, you realize he has a lot of height. This only fails by failing to fail.
