What happens if an American Shorthair falls from the 7th floor?

Falling from the 7th floor can cause fractures, pneumothorax, internal organ rupture, or even death. Although cats have some buffer when falling, most suffer massive spleen or liver rupture; if a coronary artery ruptures, the cat dies from rapid internal bleeding. A very few may only fracture or bruise, but the chance is tiny, so seal windows in high-rise homes.
