Description
Fabiana Graciolli Tomazi and co-authors reviewed seventy cats injured after getting trapped in tilted windows, in work published in 2024. The trapping cuts blood flow to the cord, muscles, and nerves of the rear body. Records came from clinics across many years.
Only seven cats died or were put down in hospital. Tail function at arrival was the strongest survival sign: cats with a limp, numb tail fared far worse. Severe cold and a missing thigh pulse also marked poor odds. Common enzyme rises did not predict survival in this sample. The authors say a focused arrival exam, above all the tail check, helps forecast recovery in these cases.
