My persian cat.

[Danikka27]

My cat since yesterday is strange. Yesterday I noticed that she couldnt walk properly but as she is always jumping from everywhere I dindt get to much worried. Today when I came back from work I went to play with her and I noticed she is not walking at all and that when I get close to her she gets very angry and try to bite me. Im pretty sure she feels some pain but she doenst let me touch her. I dont have any vet close that I can take her straigt away. Please can anybody help me. Thank you

Hi only thing I can think of would she have been hit by a car. Here's hoping she might be ok in a day or two if not I would certainly take her to vet but you will have a job getting a vet over the holiday. Just keep her in and quiet and she might be ok.

um...no! it would be inhumane just to leave your cat in this state. if it was your gran who couldn't walk and waved you away with a walking stick when you tried to touch or mobilise her, would you just leave it? i hope not...do the decent thing and sort it out NOW. i can't believe you even have to ask.

We had just this with one of our cats this week.. not walking up and down the stairs properly, and staying away from us.

Like Wendilla said, she may have been knocked by a car. However what was wrong with elvis, was an abcess on his shoulder that was making him feel sore and poorly. its been drained and washed through, with antibiotics and anti inflammatory shots too, and he was much better straight away.

Either way, it needs checking out by a vet. Sorry, nothing else to suggest.

If you cat is very active and always jumping she could have injured herself, pulled or strained something or other. I understand it is not always possible to get veterinary help. Let her rest, hopefully she is still eating and drinking. Do nt attempt to give her painkillers or any other such human medication as they can have disasterous effects on cats. Hopefully she will pick up soon - best to get her checked out anyway asap.

Thank you very much for your help. I manage to get the vet to check on her tomorrow at pets @ home. She is a kitten, 14 weeks old, very acctive and I believe she fel down from the scratch post. I have to feed her in her mouth and same for drinking.. the good thing is that she eats. I'll have to wait until tomorrow anyway. Thank you

Danikka. One thing to remember is Razzle's good advice about human medication, because just one Aspirin can kill a cat. Hope your kitten will be ok when the vet has seen her. Please post back and let us know. Best wishes. Schutz.
