As an owner of a three beautiful cats, it is important to take their health and any threats seriously. While our beloved felines are very intelligent, their curiosity can get the best of them. Accidents from falling off stair railings and ledges, banisters, patio, balconies, and lofts.
When we moved to our new house, our cats loved climbing the stairs, but when they started perching on top of the upstairs banister, I got nervous they may either jump or slip and fall.
That’s when I started researching how to make our banister and stairs safe for our cats and I ran across an article on Senior Cat Wellness, “Will Cats Jump Off Balconies?”.
If your cat falls from height, it will likely seem to dust itself off and walk away. Do not be fooled by this behavior. The cat may have experienced serious, potentially life-changing, injuries. These may yet have serious repercussions. There is every chance your cat needs veterinary attention after a fall, regardless of appearances. It may succumb to injuries after several hours or days.
Consider a fall from a height to be every bit as dangerous as a road traffic accident. Both of these concerns are responsible for a significant level of feline mortality.
That’s when I knew I had to do something and when I was talking about the situation with a friend, the told be about a company that custom makes banister safety walls that are easily installed. They come with everything you need to make your home safe for your furry friends.
That’s when I called Bob with Child Senior Safety, on a Saturday night at 9pm, I couldn’t believe he answered the phone! Bob was so helpful and walked me through the entire process.
We now have a beautiful safety wall over our loft and railing of our new home. It was very simple to send pics and measurements to get what we needed. The finished results look fantastic – it’s worth every penny for the peace of mind of knowing my cats are safe.
