Why Do Cats Love Windows?
The outside world—birds, sunlight, and other stimuli—attracts cats’ attention. If window areas are not arranged safely, they can become hazardous.

Risk of Falling from Heights: High-Rise Syndrome
High-Rise Syndrome refers to the injuries cats sustain when falling from high windows, including:

• Fractures

• Internal bleeding

• Lung damage

• Spinal injuries

Even if the window is closed, a sudden reflexive jump can result in a fall.

Measures to Ensure Window Safety
a. Window Screens: Made of durable, UV-protected nylon or steel mesh.
b. Safety Barriers: Physical barriers mounted on the window sill.
c. Fixed Screens: Non-opening, frame-mounted systems.
d. Window Restrictors: Limit the window opening to a narrow gap.

Extra Tips for a Safe Window Environment

• Move furniture away from windows

• Use secure window perches or beds

• Regularly check protective systems

• Apply similar precautions to balconies

Choosing and Installing the Right Screen

Screen Selection:

• Scratch-resistant material

• Mesh size smaller than 2x2 cm

• Gray or black color (does not obstruct the view)

Installation:

• Secure with screws or strong adhesive

• Ensure the screen is taut and properly fitted

• For long-term use, professional installation is recommended

Conclusion:
Window safety can save your cat’s life. Areas that seem simple can lead to serious accidents. With the right screen, protective system, and regular checks, you can ensure both safety and enjoyment.

Remember: Taking precautions is the greatest expression of your love.
