This is the saying
Sometimes I often see cats jump off from a height
Also unscathed look
But is it really like this?

"Cat High -rise Syndrome"

What is a high -rise composite?
High-RiseSyndrome
It refers to all damage caused by the height of the cat from the height of about or above about two floors (3-4 meters on each floor). This syndrome often occurs in young cats living in urban areas. The term High-Rise refers to a high-rise building where cats fall. There are also many "jumping" behaviors that induce cats, but most of them are related to the habits of cats. Common causes of cat -high -rise composite signs:
01
Hunting nature
Cats are born with their own hunting habits. Therefore, when the cat stands on the window sill, balcony or railings, it will suddenly cause psychology to hunt them when they fly in front of them.
02
Estrus
February and August of each year are the season of cat estrus, commonly known as "running cats in February". Cats will try to go out, and often choose "walking the window". Therefore, cats are best to undergo sterilization surgery as soon as possible, which can effectively avoid jumping off the building due to estrus.
03
Curious
Cats especially like to stand at a high place, and they are always eager to try many places that can't go up. It is precisely because of this curiosity plus the ability of high jumps that many cats have developed a bad habit of jumping window sill or balcony railings, which eventually led to a tragedy of suffering.
In summary, in the process of breeding cats, pet owners must pay attention to avoid the above causes.
What damage will the high -rise syndrome cause:
01
fracture
The most common is the fractures of the limbs, followed by the damage and fracture of the skull, the fracture of the spine, and the pelvic fracture.
02
trauma
Chest trauma, head/facial injury, limb trauma, joint damage, ligament damage, tendon break, and foreign bodies such as drying racks and branches that may encounter during the whereabouts. At the same time, bleeding may also be caused by fractures.
03
internal injury
Including the bleeding of the internal organs, lungs, pneumothorax, nasal bleeding, bladder bleeding and even rupture.
04
pancreatitis
After the cat falls from a height, it is easy to traumatic pancreatitis in the next three days. It is speculated that the pancreatic ischemia caused by the blood flowing to the limb may be caused by simply impact and trauma.
What should I do after I find a cat jumping off the building?
01
Confirm whether to lose consciousness
If you are unconscious, please go directly to the hospital.
If you have consciousness, please observe the cats' breathing and heartbeat first, and check the gums. If the breathing is accelerated, and the gums are pale, it means that there is a shock risk, please send it directly to the hospital.
If the breathing heart rate is normal, and the gums are healthy pink, please check the injury of the cat and see if there are bleeding, damage, whether you can walk/cannot walk, teeth break or puncture. Essence
02
First aid treatment -hemostasis
Materials: clean cotton, gauze, paper towels
method:
1. Press the wound hard for 10 minutes (epidermal injury, you can rinse it gently with water, do not explore, clean or rinse deep wounds)
2. After the bleeding stops/slows down, tied the hemostatic cloth with another long cloth (don't tie too tightly, leave two fingers gaps).
03
First aid treatment -fracture treatment
Materials: clean cotton cloth, gauze
method:
1. Observe whether the broken limb is an open fracture (the bone protrudes from the skin, the ribs open fracture, and the chest cavity may appear deformity or flat at one or more parts)
2. Use cloth to be gently wrapped in an open fracture (without veterinarian guidance, do not clean the wounds, do not wrap it tightly, but only increase the pain of the cat. Do not use bandages and splints for bandaging.)
04
Correct medical posture
Try to keep cats still
If you need to move, ensure that the cat's head and neck are not moved to prevent the spine from hurting (one hand is fixed with the head and neck, put it under the hind legs).
Transportation of injured cats
Use hard cardboard, hard plastic panel and other supporting materials to "slide into" the aviation box or carton. Use a towel to fill the gap to ensure the comfort of the cat, and to prevent the cat from sliding in the box to ensure that the fracture part is not moved.
Keep the cat's head lower than other parts of the body
Ensure that blood flows to the head to avoid hypoxia.
(If possible) Call in advance to inform the hospital
Symptoms of internal bleeding:
01
Gums pale, vomiting, coughing blood;
02
Lifting abdomen, extreme drowsiness or coma;
03
Breathing shallow and fast;
04
Lengle.
How to avoid "high -rise composite":
01
Window! Window! Still blocking the window!
This is also the most important point. Friends who have to raise cats at home must pay attention to the details of the window protection equipment and locking functions of the windows. In addition, it is recommended to use strong and durable materials. Many cats are sharp because of their claws. Many low -quality window screens are easy to catch and cause tragedy.
02
Standardize the scope of cats!
Try not to let cats go as much as possible in the open -air balcony, and do not place cat climbing, toys or making cat rest areas in these places.
03
Keep a good distance when playing!
Do not use the laser pen and teasing cat stick near the window. Try to avoid cats habitually arrest and play near the window.
