Cats always land on their feet, right? That statement definitely rings true for Meagan Wilsons 8-year-old cat, Sasha Fierce. ... On July 21, sometime between midnight and 5 a.m., the peach-colored domestic long-haired feline fell off the 15th floor condo balcony where she lived. She miraculously survived with minimal injuries for a fall that far. ... It wasnt warm and fuzzy during the event, but it is now, Wilson said.
Wilson woke up at 5 a.m. that morning because she was having trouble sleeping. She noticed that her balcony door was not locked all the way, as she was on it earlier that evening. Wilson then noticed her other cat had managed to get outside on the balcony and was pacing back and forth.
She panicked, wondering where Sasha could be. Wilson began checking closets in her condo, bedrooms and even the condos hallways. Her toddler was asleep in the next room and Wilson couldnt leave her sleeping alone if she went downstairs to check outside.
The worst thought crossed her mind. There was no way Sasha could have fallen 15 stories and lived, she presumed. She gave her next-door neighbor Stan Valadzko a call and asked him to go check for her. ... Wilson waited in her condo nervously when she got a call from her neighbor. To Wilsons surprise, Sasha was there and alive.
