It works, only that it requires you to make a fall which you will survive even with 1 HP remaining from your current HP (when without the ring).

So if you make a fall which does 500 damage (and you have 501 HP), wearing the ring and making the same fall won't damage you for 500 damage.

If you make a fall which does the same or more damage than your current HP, wearing the ring won't help.

That doesn't make sense. Why would its effectiveness be based on how much health you have? I'm pretty sure you just die if you fall more than a scripted distance.

wrong.
there are falls which you can survive, and falls you will never ever survive, just throw a prism stone before you jump next time ;p

Indeed. If you hear a loud noise, NOTHING will help you survive that fall.

I'm pretty sure the Cat Ring works like the Spook spell, so whis would be wrong. Spook allowed me to survive the fall down to Smouldering Lake (the one where you should use the broken bridge as a ladder), which normally killed me.

Looks like some falls are scripted to be lethal, no matter what you do.
