2. They always land on their feet
It is true that cats are agile and like to climb on everything, but you should know that if they fall the wrong way, they can actually injure themselves badly. There is this common belief that says “Cats always fall on their feet,” but this is far from the truth.
There is even a medical term for the injuries that cats can suffer when falling from great heights: “high-rise syndrome.” These balls of fluff can suffer fractures or sprains, and in some cases, they even get respiratory issues.
Another fascinating thing about this topic is that cats actually have a higher chance of injuring themselves when they are falling from lower heights. You might wonder how that is possible. Well, if they fall from somewhere higher, during the fall, they will have time to turn around, and in this way they will fall on their feet, securing a safe landing.
So, if you have a cat, be sure to have solid window screens that have no holes, and also make any tabletops or shelves that seem dangerous unappealing to the cat.
