Cat survives 12th floor fall from building

A cat has recovered from a 120-foot drop from the 12th floor of a building.

The feline was allegedly thrown off a block of flats in the West Midlands, England and found at the bottom by people on the third floor who heard something hit a window, the Daily Mail reports.

The 7-month-old tabby cat was motionless in a state of shock and taken to the Birmingham Animal Hospital, but only suffered a broken tooth and a slight injury to her hip.

The incident happened on June 5, and the RSPCA are looking for the cat's owners.

An animal welfare officer for the RSPCA recalled: "When I collected the cat, she was in a lot of pain and was petrified.

"I feared she might not survive, because of the distance she fell added to the fact she couldn't stand afterwards. But I am so glad she has proved me wrong and is getting stronger every day. Staff at the hospital hope that, given time, she will make a full recovery."

The RSPCA officer also stated: "It is clearly possible that it wasn't accidental."

A veterinary nurse at the hospital added: "We expected to see a few more broken bones to be honest... She is possibly the luckiest cat alive."
