My cat, the survivor.

[ariadnem]

Long story short, Erendil, my cat, fell off the balcony and hit the ground. We live on a fifth floor. We panicked. She's traumatised, but nothing major happened. According to the vets she's in the best shape possible. No broken bones, no internal damage. She just got three stitches on her lower lip, another one on her left knee and bruises on her tongue.

She could've died *sob*

I know about cats surviving after falling from the 9th floor!!!
It should be true that they have 9 lifes ^_^
Thank God Erendit is safe in your hands! ^__^

Thank God they have nive lives. I just hope that Erendil either learns her lesson or has more than the eight she's got left ^^U

Gah! Almost fainted when I read your first line, how scary! But I'm so very glad she's fine.

It was so scary not finging her *cry* I thought she had something broken when I saw her, but I'm glad she's fine myself.

woah, I'm glad your kitty is okay! I have heard of cats falling from heights and surviving, too. They have mad ninja skllz, apparently...! Blessed be your little kitty...! *cuddles her own kitty*

[ariadnem.livejournal.com]

I'm so happy she's got these mad ninja skills! It's like the best thing ever!

I panicked when started to read your post :s but I'm so glad your kitty is in excellent shape after such a fall...I only let my kitty to get out of the kitchen window because it feels safer (the window's got an iron thing for the plants pots) maybe some bird caught her attention and persuaded to try and jump? my kitty sometimes gets hipnotized by birds and I've known some cats have fallen down windows because of birds...
*hugs*

She's never lost balance before. I mean, she's used to being on a balcony walking on its edge. We don't know if it was that she lost her balance, went flying trying to follow a bug or a bird. I just don't know. But I'm so bloody relieved nothing big happened ot her!

And she was trying the balcony again tonight!!!!! I had to get her in and close all the doors!! *cry*

*hugs back*

insito JAMAS la dejes salir al balcon. eso de que los gatos mantienen el balance y la mamada es un mito. NO LA DEJES SALIR AL BALCON!

[milosflaca.livejournal.com]

¿y que hacía tu gata en el balcon?

[ariadnem.livejournal.com]

Lo de siempre; mirar para afuera ^^U

[milosflaca.livejournal.com]

jamás, jamás se debe de dejar a un gato salir al balcon nena. se que no quieres oir un regaño, pero como dueño no te puedes permitir bajar la guardia con un gato, porque siempre se terminan callendo.
ten más cuidado para la proxima.

Across the street from where I work there's this balcony, and there's this cat which perches, litterally "perches" on the balcony railings like a bird. It moves to the left, then to the right, like some kind of acrobat (which I reckon most cats are), and it never falls.

I reckon Erendil isn't used to the new place yet, and I'm sure she won't fall again. Cats are clever that way, unlike dogs (remembers stupid pets) who are more like humans, and make the same mistake twice.

Glad your cat is okay. I remember the Woody Allen quote from his film Bananas "I'm like a cat. I always land on my feet." And, well, Erendil is a cat, plus she's got a really cool name.

She was trying to get on the balcony again!!! The doc warned us, they don't learn! they love being flying/parachuting kittens! And I so hate that *cry*

I don't want anything happening to her, and I was so scared *cry*

Poor pusskin! I'm so glad she survived it so well. I remember how terrified I was when my little kitten walked out along our bedroom windowsill and fell onto the driveway below. Cats are built to fall well.

[ariadnem.livejournal.com]

The doc said that since she's lost weight with the moving and stuff, she didn't get any more hurt. If she'd been a couple of pounds heavier, she could've broken something. She feel on her feet, it seems, and I'm happy for that.

Now we have to figure a way to cover the balcony so she doesn't try this stunt ever again.

I'm glad your cat is ok!!

I feared the worst at first so I'm glad nothing serious happened to her. I have 4 cats and I know I would be in pieces if something happened to one of them. *pets cats surrounding her and goes back to lurk study*

[ariadnem.livejournal.com]

It was so stresful. Just thinking about her being hurt...*cry*

[turps33.livejournal.com]

[ariadnem.livejournal.com]
