Pet Myths Debunked

Get the facts straight to keep your pet safe.

Myth #4: Cats always land on their feet.
The reality: We wish this were true, but Dr. Rubin says he's seen too many instances of high-rise syndrome, in which cats hanging out by windows accidentally fall out when a passing bug or bird steals their attention. Install a window bay or a cat condo, and keep the window closed. And keep your cat healthily occupied in other ways, too. Dr. Rubin suggests a daily exercise routine in which the cat chases a toy on a string or a laser light on the wall. During the day, you can put a few pieces of cat food in a feed-and-treat ball and hide it, which will stimulate your cat's natural hunting instincts and keep it active.
