My cat jumped from a loft. Should I be concerned about hidden injury?

You may have just startled her by falling on her, and she is hiding because she is scared. If she starts limping, becomes lethargic, or stops eating and drinking, then she likely was hurt from the trauma, and I would take her into the vet for an exam.

What a cute cat! If he is eating, drinking and using the restroom I would not be concerned. Some cats will fall far and land on their feet. At this point I would just monitor him for any sign of pain or illness. If he acts painful I would take him to a vet.

Hi there and thanks for posting on Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I would recommend Brownie see a veterinarian today to be sure she hasn't sustained any injuries that are not directly obvious, such as a head injury, just to be on the safe side. Sometimes injuries may not be noticed at first after a traumatic event such as a fall from a window, even if they land on their feet, so I would recommend Brownie get looked at by a veterinarian today if possible. Best of luck to you and Brownie and thanks again for posting.

It sounds like something caused her pain. Sometimes cats can get their toe nails caught in carpeting. This can lead to a torn nail, sprained toe or leg injury. I would get her seen by your vet to make sure this is nothing serious. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns. I am also available via consultation if needed.

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Martha. If she had a kidney injury, she would barely be moving, lethargic, painful, and you may see blood in the urine. She would have had to fall really hard to have that happen, it's very unlikely she has a kidney injury. She's not limping, so she is likely fine. I would not worry. I hope this helps!

I am sorry to hear about Kiara! I would watch her walk around and be sure she isn't limping. Check each foot including the toes, and flex and extend each of her 4 legs checking for sensitivity/swelling/bruising, check along her tail, and gently press along her spine. If nothing abnormal is noted I would not be concerned. If she does have a painful area or swelling/bruising then a trip to the vet would be recommended.

If the leg is injured and Farra can't use it, it's best to bring her to a vet. Falling can cause an injury such as a sprain or break that requires veterinary care in order to treat it, along with pain meds or other medications to help Farra feel better. If she is crying, she is likely in bad pain. Keeping her calm, quiet and not moving around much can help until you can get to your vet, but care ASAP is best.
