A cat may not die from falling off the 6th floor. Cats have strong stretching ability and balance; generally, below six floors the chance of dying from the jump is fairly small. But the 6th floor is right at the boundary for a cat’s falls, so whether it dies from a 6th-floor jump is hard to say.
If a cat jumps from the 7th floor, the chance of death rises greatly.
Even if a cat that fell from the 6th floor can still run, the owner should still take it to a veterinary hospital for a check-up, because a high fall can easily injure the cat’s internal organs.
