Default Re: How i prevent kitty from jumping off balcony?

Hi posh_chiquita,

Is there a gate or sliding door leading to your balcony area, or is it permanently open?

My advice would be for you to net up the gate which leads to the balcony, all the way to the top (and yes, this means your cat does not get the chance to visit this area unless you allow her to). If there isn't a gate but only a sliding door leading to this area, then my advice would be to keep it permanently closed (again, unless you're supervising your kitty).

Don't forget the kitchen and bathroom windows/grilles too yes (get them netted up too). I've heard of cats that got too curious and snuck out through these/fell to their deaths, better safe than sorry.

Kudos to you by the way on the adoption plan and all the best with safety preparations for your current/future kitty! :)

Regards,
Nitha (Vee20)
