when you click the green flag, the y velocity variable is set
to 0, and then the script enters a forever loop. The y position
(vertical position) of the Cat sprite is changed by y velocity, and
y velocity is changed by -2. as the program goes through the
loop, the y position will change faster and faster, making the
cat fall faster and faster.

Before you click the green flag, drag the Cat sprite to the top
of the Stage. when you click the green flag, notice that the cat
begins to fall. If you want the cat to fall again, click the red
