🤔DID YOU KNOW THAT CATS CAN NATURALLY PUT THEMSELVES IN DANGER?
👉HERE ARE 6 SCENARIOS PUTTING YOUR CAT AT RISK
So many people think cats dont jump off balconies and windows.
⭐️Its not so much about jumping off the balcony or the window.
⭐️Its more about what cats do naturally and then miss, slip, fall off of ....
👉I have illustrated in pictures some of the scenarios that are dangerous for cats using the example of an installation we did for a black kitty adopted by Dani Van de Velde from Project LUNI - Rehoming & Caring for Street Cats Singapore.
Dani contacted me to cat proof her home following an adoption of two kittens.
She had a large balcony and windows to cat proof but yet did not want to loose her family life style and enjoyment of the balcony view. Cat safety net truly were the solution for both family and cats.
🙀When we finished the installation and opened the space up for exploration , the kittens were quick to check all the weak spots on the balcony to see if they could climb and land on the handrail and ledges
🤗Thankfully, the cat safety nets were there to prevent any fall.
👉But this really brings home the necessity of cat proofing your home.
⭐️Its very natural for cats to seek heights and to want to explore ledges, handrail, window sills, accessible corniches. Even if they are too narrow to support your cat, your cat will still try
⭐️In real life situation, Cats can easily jump on top of an open door and sit on that narrow width and even jump on hung mirror's frame thinking its wide enough to gain footing.
🙀So imagine how tempting it is to explore potentially dangerous features of your home.
➡️HERE ARE 6 NATURAL BEHAVIOUR SCENARIOS THAT ALL CATS DO AND CAN GET IN TROUBLE WITH:
✅When rooms are inaccessible, a door left open becomes an invitation to explore and jump on something potentially dangerous .
✅A space normally not accessible can become a GAME of "catch me if you can" when that door opens... with your cat racing to jump on window/balcony/utility room ledge
✅When cats have the zoomies, they use features in your home as a parcour, they run, slip and fall. THey completely forget the danger.
✅Cats can also be playful with an other cat playmate chasing each other or have a less friendly chase and end up in a dangerous location forgetting caution.
✅If your cat catches movements or sounds from a bird, critter, your cat may drop all sense of caution to investigate, jump to catch the prey, slip and fall
✅Your cat can be sleeping on a surface you think wide enough, roll in his sleep and fall off or wake up surprised by you , a noise or an other cat..... and slip.
