Kitten Fall

Question
My 3 1/2 month kitten fell from 10ft.  He landed on his feet, but didn't break anything.  He is much less energetic than usual.  

Thank you,

Answer
Hi Joanne,

He's probably okay, just a little in shock.  Keep an eye on him and make sure he's eating and drinking all right and that there is no blood in his urine or stool.   These little guys are pretty resilient and if he landed on his feet he's probably fine, just watch him for any signs of internal injury like I mentioned above, and if you see anything like that get him to the vet immediately.  Certainly if you see any signs of seizure activity (you'll recognize it when you see it, its completely abnormal behavior) get him to the vet right away.  I've had younger kittens than that fall and not land on their feet and be just fine.
