A cat was fitted with casts on both of his front legs after he miraculously survived a seven-storey fall.

Kushi, two, leapt off the seventh-floor balcony while his owner Feim Mehmed, 28, was out grocery shopping.

Kushi fractured one leg while the other suffered a sprain but luckily he didn't need surgery.

Feim, who works in marketing in Brussels, Belgium, said: "His front legs were twisted when we found him."

"It's so high and I expected him to be badly hurt maybe even with a fractured skull but he seemed totally fine."

"The vet said Kushi didn't need surgery after all as his bone was healing on its own."

Incredibly, Kushi made a full recovery within 21 days, bouncing back to his usual self.

Feim said: "He kept chewing the cast so we got it changed again after 10 days but the vet removed the cast in just three weeks and he was able to walk normally after."

Since the incident in April, Kushi has been staying at Feim's sister on the first floor to prevent any more life-threatening jumps.
