Expert Answer

Internal injuries from a fall generally cannot heal on their own, because cats are very good at hiding pain; if the injury is mild, we usually cannot notice it. If a cat shows obvious symptoms, there may be internal bleeding, fractures, or soft-tissue bruising; if not treated promptly, even if it heals, serious aftereffects may remain, and worsening internal bleeding could even threaten the cat’s life.

Therefore, after a cat suffers internal injuries from a fall, it is recommended to take it to a veterinary hospital for treatment promptly.
