Stripey Tail is limping

I spotted it as soon as I saw him this morning and it's a pronounced limp as well but not a poorly leg as I first thought, it's a hind paw. I couldn't get a closer look as he headed straight for the flap but he seems happy enough, his eyes are bright and his appetite is as good as ever, I'll just have to wait till he comes back in for a snooze before I can check the paw out properly.

Hopefully it's nothing serious as he's the last cat I'd want to put in my carrier for a vets apt, he's too big for it and I somehow doubt he'd co-operate if I tried to put him in

Aye he may have something to say about that. Unless you could get a really good look at it, which I doubt as even placid laptop cat isn't prone to anyone touching their paws, it's going to be difficult to decide what's wrong, maybe he's landed awkwardly and within a couple of days, all will be well.

He's more or less walking normally again now By the way he's been pestering the young female cat from across the road (again ) it wouldn't surprise me to find she's lashed out and caught his paw, and he'll get no sympathy from me if that's the case.

Ian

Whatever it was it's gone now

Ian

wonder if he's arthritic (sp) and it was bothering him? Anyway, glad he's fine now.

I doubt it Kath, I'm sure I would have noticed signs of that before now, I reckon he's just been fighting (again)
