Cat Tales: Separating Fact From Fiction
Despite their popularity, myths about cats persist. Separating fact from fiction provides a greater understanding of how to meet their special needs.
A falling cat always lands on its feet When a cat falls a short distance, it often twists itself around to right itself and land on its feet. However, falls from heights can cause severe injury or death.
A window without a screen or with an insecurely fastened screen is a life-threatening hazard. Other accidents happen when an air conditioner is removed from the window for cleaning or repair. Balconies are also a danger. A cat may fall from a balcony rail as it chases an insect.
Securely fastened screens and being alert to other highrise dangers help prevent serious injuries resulting from falls.
