[nq:2]Martha, my 5 year old domestic long hair mix likes ... itself in danger by jumping from a height like this?[/nq]
[nq:1]Think of her as a two-year-old toddler. In general she understands heights, but she is easily distracted and if she sees a bird she may indeed jump after it forgetting that there's nowhere to land.[/nq]
What is the matter with you letting her out there in the first place then to have to ask is even more idiotic, If no one else will say it I will!!

[nq:1]Martha, my 5 year old domestic long hair mix likes to hang out on the balcony, and specifically perched on ... paranoid, or is this a real danger? P.S. sorry for such a noob question, if you've heard it before. Emotion: smile

The fall to concrete can very possibly hurt her..I suggest you hang a net partway down to catch her, or put an old mattress on the concrete below where she hangs out. It won;' take much to break her fall and keep her from getting hurt. Perhaps a planter with some bushes in it on the concrete below?

Hundreds! Can you give me basic info on your location? No, not looking for street address, but if you can tell me country and state that helps alot. Nearest big city helps even more. Then I can look it up and tell you fairly local places.
Here is a sample of one of the hundreds.

That specific one isnt possibly long enough for your needs but you can get the idea from it.
Here's an alternet (grin) http://tinyurl.com/256lm3l

That one is bigger and you'd cut it to shape.
I can walk you through it all but need to know more on your porch such as if it is wood and has a roof and things like that.
Help me help you?

Addressing the subject in general...
Cats fall off of ledges all the time. My sister had a small cat or kitten fall almost 3 stories without injury. Maybe it landed on thick carpet grass. Recently, my feral female fell off of her new perch on their skyway. Sounded like she landed flat, with a thump. For some reason, cats just do not understand the hazard of hanging around on a ledge far from the ground. I guess they relax too much, roll over, and roll right off.
