Warmer weather=more open windows.
RISKS
Cats jumping or falling from unsecured windows or balconies
False sense of security because cats “usually land on their feet”
Secure window screens at any height are not optional. Let that fresh spring air enter your house while making sure no cats are exiting your house.
Cats falling or escaping from open windows is more common than you think. Tiny Fault + Willful Cat=Yikes. While we get to know our cats pretty well, they are still animals, and animals are never 100% predictable.
What is predictable is that they will probably make a wrong choice (by human standards) at some point in their lives.
It’s up to us to manage their environment for maximum safety.
