Prince - limping again

Sean went home at lunch time and noticed he is limping again! Just hoping to goodness, that like the last time a month or so ago, it will disappear as quick as it appeared, and he has just landed on it a bit stiffly. Its getting way too near to us moving to have to cope with him being "caged" again, if it is his cruciate in a bad way again. Fingers crossed. We will just have to keep an eye on him, and if he is still limping tomorrow, then it will be a trip to the vet.
Mind you, whether this is coincidence or not, this morning, when I left home at 6.30am I cut through the school play ground (our lane runs between our cottages and the school) and beyond the school is the MAIN road through the village. Well, as I was coming through the wee gate, I heard a rustle, I sh*t myself as I thought it was a person (it was pitch black at that time of the morning mind!), I then heard an almighty cat fight, turned round from the gate, and who should be in the MIDDLE of the main road, but PRINCE, scrapping like a thug with another kitty! I shouted his name and his neck did a 360 degree, then he shot off back across the pavement and through the school grounds towards home!!!!! The little sh*t........ why I outta........., SO whether it was this little set-to that has caused his knee to start playing up again, I dont know.

Oh it's not funny but I got a real good picture in my head of him *scrapping like a thug *, why do i always think our kitties don't fight, shag or do anything *untoward* hopefully by tomorrow his knee will have settled down again, wonder if he feels it more when the weather is cold, like arthitis? Good luck, you certainly don't need to added stress of McChunks being caged when you're moving.

Poor Princey-pie! I hope his leg improves overnight, a caged Prince is not what you want come moving time. x

Thanx girlies. He doesnt seem to be limping at the moment, just "gingerly walking" and lifting his leg a bit off the floor. We will keep our eye on him, and try to deter him from going out (although cant really do that tonight as we have no litter tray - got thrown out a while back and we havent got round to replacing as he NEVER uses it - apart from when he was caged! Will have to get one tomorrow as we will need one anyway for his journey up to Scotland and when we get to mum and dads) We can just "try" to keep him in and deter him from jumping up and down from things, carry him upstairs etc! Oh bless my big bundle of McChunky Lurve

Lets hope it's just a slight battle wound and nothing serious. Maybe he limped on purpose to get your sympathy because he knew you'd be angry with him for fighting

you could well be right - as Sean said he came in "looking all sheepish" and flung himself onto his back for belly strokes - like he KNEW he was in trouble!

Awwww bless the poor handsome chap, lets just hope Ian's right lol!

So far so good - no more limping, but still walking rather guarded. Just keeping our eye on him and "trying" to deter him from jumping up and down - not an easy job eh!

Gee I'll say, glad things look ok though, have a chat with him and let him know not to do anything stupid cos he's going his travels soon.

How is the handsome fella now?
