Liz, the reason your cat broke it's back after falling only two feet is probably the same reason that my brother Ian broke his collar bone after falling 18 inches out of the bottom bunk bed! I don't know what the reason is, but it's probably the same one!I had one cat that slept on top of the t.v., she would only occasionally fall off, generally when she'd rolled over one too many times. More often you would have to put up with various limbs dangling down in front of the screen ( she was a manx cat so tails were not a problem ) and if she was really curious, her head, upside down. Occasionally she would pass judgement on our choice of viewing, by turning the sound down, changing channels or turning the t.v. off altogther!
Cats are...................when I finally figure it out, the world will probably end!
