i have noticed for the first time this year that my 8 year old cat Tilly is very reluctant to jump up on chairs etc, we took her to the vets but he could not find anything on the x-rays, would arthritis show up on a x-ray ? even if its a mild form, its unny as she eats fine and does have a play...

ha, i forget these things as in change of season etc, think cats love to chill this time of year and love the fire and the heat off it.

i think it maybe pointing towards a muscle or strain as the vet could not find anything positive on the x-rays, so now she has to rest, and believe me she is, she looks so chilled by the fire...lazy thing she is.

the x-rays did not show anything really,there was what looked like something floating around her hip but the vet said this could have been a RED HERRING as it did not show up on two out of the three x-rays,poor Tilly she looked half drunk when i bought her home, but now she is being spoilt...

Tilly went back to the vets tonight and he said she had some discomfort at the base of her tail,so she has a x-ray on friday morning, he said it might not show anything but he wanted to make sure there is not a injury there, though he said she is walking around just fine and her tail is...

i think that i have picked up on something this evening, i picked her up and was stroking her then she jumped down and landed on her all fours, she growled shook her leg a bit then limped for a second or so, ent under the table thn came out and ate her tea,all of it to then was asking for more...

Many thanks,i will watch her and i think it would be a good idea to have blood works done on her,will update if anything changes,

of all things...this afternoon i let her out into the back garden, she jumped up onto the garden table.....then climbed a 6 foot fence.....i stood there amazed,i could not believe what i just witness, i went back into the house scratching my head....so that must surely rule out a injury...as for...

Hi, no she is drinking and weeing as normal, i am just about to check her pads now as i have put her on the back of the chair and the sun is beaming down on her,its been a week yesterday since it started and in herself she seems fine....its a change of her usual ways, a real puzzle,...no her...

ps how can i post a picture of her and how ? thank you.

No he did not check her heart, she does not sem to have a limp but is just reluctant to jump up on things, she was running around playing last night as like most cats love these pet laser pens which you can now buy,in herself she seems to be fine,also i think i get a bit paranoid ( as my wife...

many thanks for the reply, arthritis did cross my mind as she is 8 years old and she is one big cat,very heavy, its strange as she has been playing again tonight and she eats fine, probably to much if anything,but she always has done,she just seems to have stopped jumping up on the furniture...
