Curiosity is said to kill the cat. However, a short-haired British cat in Melbourne was lucky to survive after falling off the 18th floor of the apartment building.
Last week, a cat named Charlie on the south bank of Melbourne, (Southbank), accidentally fell off an 18-story balcony and landed on the lower roof, according to Radio 7.
The owner, Amy Thompson, introduced a collection page at the GoFundMe website, although Charlie was lucky to be alive, but the chin and legs were broken. Charlie's leg has an operation with a fixed metal plate, and it is now necessary to wear a protective collar that can only be fed through the feeding tube.
"the veterinarian said cats would do something unexpected and if they fell from a higher floor (above the 11th floor), they would lie flat and float to some extent," Thompson said. If they fall off the lower floors, they will suffer more serious injuries. "

Charlie also has two teeth broken and may need to be pulled out. It stopped using painkillers from yesterday and will go to the veterinary department to unthread.
Thompson expects veterinary bills to be close to A $5000. In addition, because she had to take leave home to look after Charlie, there would be other financial losses.
So far, goodwill donations to Charlie have accumulated more than A $1200.
