Your cat has experienced a fall from the third floor, which can be concerning. While she is moving around, it's important to ensure she isn't hiding any injuries or pain.
- Monitor her closely for signs of pain or distress.
- Check for any visible injuries such as cuts or bruises.
- Observe her behavior and mobility for any changes.
Cats are often adept at hiding pain, so it's crucial to keep an eye on your cat for any signs of discomfort or changes in behavior. Look for limping, reluctance to move, or vocalizations that might indicate she's in pain. Keep her as calm and comfortable as possible, and restrict her activity until you're certain she's okay.
If this is an emergency, please seek immediate veterinary care.
