Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / August 2005My cat just went head on into our sliding glass door!!
He hit it hard too and started making noises like he was sneezing but after a minute he was ok and I picked her up and pet her for awile and touched her nose to see if she was hurt and she seems ok.. Should I be worried? Just keep an eye on her for a while and if you see anything that might indicate she gave herself a concussion make a vet appointment. Did she just skid into the door or do you think she misjudged where the glass was because it's, well, glass? If the later, you might want to get some cling vinyl stickers to put on the door so she has an easier time telling where the glass is. If she just skidded into the door I'd put some type of non-skid rug or mat in front of it so she can get some traction before slamming into the door again. Years ago a kitten of ours skidded into the back door and knocked himself silly. I've kept a non-skid mat in front of that door since and haven't had anyone slam into it hard like that again.

Hodge slammed into the edge of the hallway door Saturday night, but what happens with him is he gets riled up or excited (there was a guest over, for one thing) and literally starts running before looking. He was chasing me and ran smack into the edge of the door that was right in front of him. Like a little kid.

Like a little kid. I'm glad your kitty suffered no ill effects. The cat I had who slammed into the back door was never the same after that. It was like his IQ dropped a number of points in the collision. W > >> Years ago a kitten of ours skidded into the back door and knocked himself > >> silly.

Hahhahahha! Hehheheheee! (cough) ROFLMAO! Was a camera rolling? Another Funny Cats Video segment? That's funnier than sh.t! Sounds ike no harm occured. > He hit it hard too and started making noises like he was sneezing but > after a minute he was ok and I picked her up and pet her for awile and > touched her nose to see if she was hurt and she seems ok..

Should I be worried? Naw, as long as she can breathe, she's okay. Take this from a person whose cat did a face-plant into the side of the tub and did a near "clothesline" on the leg of the ironing board. (She's always been too rowdy for her own safety. Lost a bottom front tooth in the tub incident.) On the latter, her nose swelled to twice the size, but the vet said, "As long as she can breathe with her mouth closed, she'll be okay."

Some years ago I had a male tabby dive through the glass of my storm door (thinking it was open maybe?) and he died! It was horrible and for years afterwards I wouldn't leave the wooden door open anymore. > Please, please put some stickers on the glass!

That's just tragic :( > He hit it hard too and started making noises like he was sneezing but > after a minute he was ok and I picked her up and pet her for awile and > touched her nose to see if she was hurt and she seems ok.. Should I be > worried? Yes, cus you can't seem to figure if it is a she or he! LOL I'd say watch *it* closely. |
