In another incident, a three -month -old kitten fell from the first floor window and faced a broken leg.

Fortunately, his fracture was treated – but not all pets are so lucky.

“If you are a cat owner, please do not assume that a small difference is safe,” has warned by Anna Everce Clarke, head of veterinary services in Blue Cross.

“Cats do not always land on their feet. Falling from windows and balconies can cause horrific injuries – and all often, they are fatal.

“Every summer we see shattered bones, internal trauma, and heartbreaking losses that could have been avoided.”

He explained that cats are “naturally curious” and if they are not neutrized, they have even more strong urges to roam.

Ms. Clarke said: “An open window can be an unmistakable – and fatal – invitation.”

To protect the pets, the blue cross owners urge the owners to keep the windows and balcony doors when their pets are ignored, or to install a pet-safe screen or mesh to secure open windows.

Charity also urges the owners to nuts to reduce their cats to wander.

Hot weather may be disturbed for cats and dogs. Animals can afford heatstroke within minutes and require fresh water and a cold space.

Excessive panting, dragging and collapse are some signs that are heatstrokes in your pets. Blue Cross advises pets owners to move their pet to a cooler place and immediately wet your coat if they are suffering from these symptoms.

Charity suggests using a misting spray to keep pets cool, brushing them regularly to remove hair and takes them to the groom for small, cooler haircuts when needed.
