Sun, my best guess was that she fell off the top level of the cat tree or a dresser. However, there was severe bruising along with the comminuted fracture, and the vet asked if something heavy fell on her. Nothing was out of place, so I don't think so. After that, we got rid of that cat tree and a very tall entertainment center we had, and we had a carpenter come and close in the tops of the cabinets in the kitchen. We have a galley kitchen, and the cats loved to jump across from the top of the cabinets on one side to the top of the cabinets on the other side, giving us heart attacks! Now they can't do that anymoreI haven't figured out how to keep them off the dressers. There's no way to keep cats from climbing. But we've done our best to eliminate any chance of more broken bones. Of course, it could have been that she and her brother were wrestling on the coffee table and she fell off, or they both fell off with Tyler landing on top of her, which might have caused the bruising. I really wish I knew how it happened, although I know I wouldn't have wanted to see it happen. My poor baby. I hated seeing her in pain, and struggling to walk with a splint on her leg afterwards. And we put her through three months of separation from the other cats while she recuperated in a room with no furniture in it. It was a very long three months!
Sorry, I tend to run on when I'm talking about my babies!And I'd love to see those pics!
Hi Catmom! Just a suggestion -- my sis is a "Crazy Cat Lady" who works at home and her kitties would jump on her keyboard, etc and wreak havoc. She discovered they HATE canned air -- like you clean a computer with? I haven't tried it cause the squirt bottle works on mine, but seems like it would work. I know for years I've blown in their faces to get rid of them when they're being pesky and that's similar.
