injured cat


My kitten had managed to get her back leg stuck in a folding chair. she had it stuck near the top of her foot. After freeing her from the chair she ran and hid which i would have done had it happened to me. I gave her a look over felt her leg etc and it all feels ok and shes fine with me touching it. Only thing is shes walking with a slight limp and doesnt want me bending her foot. shes still quite alert and trying to play.
what do you all think is it worth a trip to the vets to get it checked out?

Re: injured cat


It's probably bruised but a vet check isn't a bad idea just in case

No harm in having the vet look at it just in case.

Re: injured cat


So glad to hear that - similar happened to my Pip when only about 10 weeks old. Limping piteously, went to vet, came home, running about normally again!!! But better to be safe.
