Defenestration cat
Unfortunately, we keep hearing about tragic stories of cats falling out of windows or balconies. The reason for these incidents lies in the natural curiosity and hunting instinct of our furry friends. Once they see a bird or other interesting object outside, they may overlook the risks and make a misstep.
A cat defenestration can cause a variety of injuries, from mild shock to serious physical damage. Some of the most common injuries include broken jaws, legs and pelvises, as well as internal bleeding. It is therefore essential to effectively protect your cat from such risks to ensure that it remains healthy and safe.
