Do cats ever feign injury?

When Epona and I got back from being at a wedding over the weekend Radar was excited to see us but I noticed his right leg appeared to be limping. I observed him closely and then noticed the limp was in his left leg. Following some chasing around he does not appear to be in pain and there is no noticeable limp
We also own a parrot and he is well known for feigning injury if he thinks Epona is going out. Is it possible that Radar is feigning some kind of injury due to being upset they we went away as he is running about normally today?

clever animals cats eh !!! and whilst I dont know much about this, I wouldn't be surprised that he was doing it for your attention

I remember reading something about big cat females feigning injuries to lure predators aways from their young ones, so they are clever enough to do that, I am sure they can do it for attention too

aww give that boy some extra hugs

p.s think we need a photo-shoot update would that be enough attention

I say yes because of one cat, Monday-Monday. She had been hid by a car and recovered beautifully. But whenever Mom would scold her, she would start limping.

I'll mention it to Epona, she's the one with the camera

After I clean Rocky's ears, he will fold them down every time I look at him. When I look away, up they go.
