Estonian University of Life Sciences clinic sees rise in cats fallen from windows — owners must be more careful

The Estonian University of Life Sciences small animal clinic has recently treated several cats that have fallen from their home windows. Some animals have escaped with minor injuries, but for others, the fall has been fatal.

The Estonian University of Life Sciences small animal clinic has recently treated several cats that have suffered injuries as a result of falling from heights. The incidents suggest that pet owners are not sufficiently aware of the dangers that open windows pose to cats.

Although cats are known for their agility, this does not mean they are protected from the consequences of falling from heights. The severity of injuries among the animals treated at the clinic has varied — some cat owners have been reunited with their pets unharmed, while for others, the story has ended tragically.

Veterinarians recommend that cat owners install protective nets on their windows or ensure that windows are not left open without supervision. This simple precautionary measure can save a pet's life and spare owners from a painful experience.
