Abstract in brief

  • Feline highrise syndrome affected 119 cats between 1998 and 2001, mostly younger than one year, with falls from an average height of four stories, and was more common during warmer seasons.
  • Most cats survived after falling, but many sustained limb fractures, especially in the forelimb and hindlimb, with the tibia and femur being the most commonly fractured bones.
  • Higher falls from the seventh story or above led to more severe injuries, including thoracic trauma like pneumothorax and pulmonary contusions, indicating increased injury severity with greater fall height.]
