Cat High Rise Syndrome

Bogey is a cat that survived a drop from a high rise building.Meet Bogey!
Bogey is a 2 year old male domestic shorthair cat who recently fell from his fourth floor Portland apartment to a ground-level sidewalk. Bogey’s parents immediately brought him to Pearl Animal Hospital for emergency veterinary treatment. Bogey survived this fall with minimal injury due to what veterinarians call high rise syndrome.

Since his skydiving adventure, Bogey’s lacerations and bruising have healed and he has adopted a less-risky lifestyle of chasing laser pointers, bird watching from secured windows, and following his momma around the house for some cuddling.
