Abstract
Two cases of high-rise syndrome with fracture in young cats were reported. A 9-month-old spayed female and a 6-month-old male cats fell from the 6th or 7th floor and suffered from distal physeal fracture of the left femur, or right proximal ulnar fracture in addition to humeroradial and proximal radioulnar joint luxations, respectively. The surgical repair of these fracture / luxation was performed after the general condition was stabilized. Prognoses in these cases were good. Since cats with high-rise syndrome seems to be increasing possibly because of the transition of the social circumstance, it is important to take preventive measures such as education to pet owners on this syndrome.
