Not the same experiment, but a related video of cats in zero-G: https://youtu.be/HwRdcv8azvk?feature=shared&t=225
I don't know what to expect when the concepts of "up" and "down" are simply removed.
As noted on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat_righting_reflex , a cat's "righting reflex begins to appear at 3–4 weeks of age, and is perfected at 6–9 weeks". What happens if a kitten is raised in zero-G? I'd also be interested to see how adult cats adapt over time, but I'm not aware of any longer-term experiments.
