High-Rise Syndrome Threatens Indoor Cats | Aberdeen News
Description
Indoor cats are at serious risk as temperatures rise—especially those on upper floors. Animal welfare groups warn of “high-rise syndrome,” where curious felines tumble from open windows or balconies, often suffering broken bones, internal injuries, or worse. One kitten’s near-fatal fall from a fifth-floor ledge highlights the danger: even small drops can be deadly. Experts debunk the myth that cats always land safely and urge owners to install secure screens, keep windows closed, neuter pets, and enrich indoor spaces to curb outdoor urges. With heatwaves coming, now’s the time to act before another cat becomes a statistic.
