How to prevent cats from falling out of high-rise apartment windows?

There are nets you can affix to the balcony so he cannot fall off. Search for "balcony cat netting" on the internet. This would be for outside balconies though. However you could have that affixed from the balcony over to the wall. Since that balcony is inside the house, I doubt he will fall off. However you may not be able to decorate that balcony with things, as he will start playing with the decorations......and break them.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Great pictures! She does look every comfortable out there. But this is a huge risk, she may not be as lucky next time she falls. You can consider putting a harness and leash on her and only allowing her on the balcony when you are able to be with her and hold the leash. It you are allowed to, you could install a safety fence or guard on the balcony. I would caution you to allow this to continue. I wish you and Moca the best!

HI there. I would recommend tying up any curtains, dangling cords from blinds, etc. that he may be using to climb on. You may also putting a cat tree, cat condo, or window seat for cats beside the window so that he has something appropriate to climb on in this area.

I have 5 cats and live in the same kind of environment. Our cats are also inside outside cats and I can tell you how we manage: 1) we feed twice a day wet food and call the cats for it. They come running for their food, we use the same call every time. This ensures that your cats come home when you call them. 2) Our cats are to be inside at night. ie we do not let them out after the evening feed. 3) they can go out if they wish, after the morning feed. Most predators hunt at dusk and dawn. So this minimizes the opportunity for contact of the cats with predators. If you can replace door handles with door knobs, the cats cannot open the doors anymore. We have been doing this for 12 years now, and have not lost a cat yet.

A fall always has the possibility of causing injury, but cats are agile. Ideally, he should be indoors, at least when you aren't home, so that if he does get hurt you'll be there to get him to vet right away. Plus, being outside he has a greater chance of getting into other kinds of trouble, like cars, other animals, spoiled food, rodents that have ingested poisons, just to nae a few.

Hi, cats can do well in a variety of temperatures. The do not necessarily need to have air conditioning but if the temperature gets above 85 degrees, put a fan on them and make sure they have access to lots of cool water. Have the person checking on them look for lethargy, panting or not wanting to eat. If they are acting fine, they should be fine. If you are concerned about them getting out, make sure the screens are secure. Cats generally won't climb through window screens unless they are being chased. Good luck!

Unfortunately now she has been out it is very difficult to blunt this natural behavior. Providing climbing toys and other distractions can help but it may be easier to keep her 100% indoor or regular free access outdoors. Many people build secure, aviary type pens to provide safe, outdoor exercise areas
