Should I worry about my cat jumping out the window?

I just bought a cat and live on the 14th floor of my building, and I realized that he doesn’t have any fear of heights like dogs do. I am really afraid that he might jump from a window.

I did some research, but could only find things like «If a cat jumps from the third floor he might survive, even with some injures» and I was like «don’t cats have any sense of height?! Why would he jump from so high?»

So, should I be worried about my cat jumping out of a window and hurting himself?

Yes you should worry, lots of bad things could happen:

The cat may get frightened or be chasing an insect and bolt for the window then fail to stop in time, slip and fall.

The cat may sleep in the windowsill in the sun, roll over, and fall.

The cat may run out on a ledge outside or jump down to someone’s air conditioner sticking out below or otherwise trap themselves someplace that would require trained rescue specialists to retrieve them.

Cats are thought of as extremely coordinated and agile but they slip, trip, fall and fail in estimating jump distances all the time.

Cats don’t purposefully fall from heights, but it can happen accidentally in the ways that Beo’s answer states. You can see dozens of videos of cats falling short distances on youtube by searching «cat fall», so it’s not difficult to imagine the same mistakes being made even when the stakes are much higher.

Cats falling from apartment buildings has been called «high rise syndrome», since veternarians have noticed a tendancy for cats to be less injured when falling from 6-8 stories than from 1-2 stories. The thought is that a longer fall time gives the cat more time to flip its body to land on its feet. However, it may be that the cats who die from the longer falls are not taken to the veternarian, so it’s difficult to know the truth from observational studies.

What we do know is that injuries are common no matter what the fall height. In one observational study, «Ninety percent of the cats had some form of thoracic [heart/lung] trauma», and in another «Falls from the seventh or higher stories, are associated with more severe injuries and with a higher incidence of thoracic trauma.»

Clearly, you should take some types of precautions to protect your cat. The ASPCA recommends the following steps:

• To fully protect your pets, you’ll need to install snug and sturdy screens in all your windows.
• If you have adjustable screens, please make sure that they are tightly wedged into window frames.
• Note that cats can slip through childproof window guards—these don’t provide adequate protection!

Get a kind of screen that you can attach to the window from the inside. Even if it’s just something you have to cut and staple to the inside of the window.

That’s true, but 47 floors is VERY high. I do not honestly think a cat can survive such a fall. In fact, I’m 100% sure it will die.

TS, get yourself some some sensor that barks when your cat gets too close? Dunno, I’m out of ideas.

Birds are regulated by the government NOT to fly higher than the 45th floor of any building. Should you see a bird flying higher than that, take down its license and report it to the civil authorities. They will cite and jail the bird. Tricking cats into jumping out of extraordinarily tall buildings is a felony in all but 3 States.

\n One of my cats (house cat) got out of the window and walked along the ledge which is about 3-4inches. and this is a fat cat. a fat stupid cat. I had to grab him and bring him in. And another time he jumped up on a bannister and nearly fell off, if he did he probably would have died.

edit, Oh and a cat CAN survive a high fall because they can use flaps under their arms as a sort of parachute, kinda like a squirrel. I heard it from QI, it must be true.
