I hurt him! Need good vibes

I was walking through the living room today and Jack got tangled up in my feet--he squealed and ran. I figured I just scared him--scared me too!

Then 15 minutes later he came upstairs and I noticed he wasn't himself. Upon further watch I realized he was limping. I of course starting crying and called my hubby who luckily is working just down the street today. He came home to find Jack wrapped in a towel on my lap, and me crying.

He was limping pretty bad on his front left leg. However by the time hubby left Jack was pretty much playing as usual--still favoring it ever so slightly.

I had made a vet appt the minute I saw him limping but we are now cancelling until further notice. I'm going to keep him in his safe room while we are at work today--so he can rest. We'll see how he is this evening and if he is still favoring it we'll go to the vet.

I feel awful, it breaks my heart to know I hurt him....

Please sends vibes for both of us

Aww, that can happen to the best of us. Darn cats are always underfoot, and they're so quiet and stealthy, sometimes you just don't notice them in time!

Sending lots of

Oh no! Sending good vibes your way

I hope the Cat feels better. When I went to get Oreo I stepped on one of the other kittens Paws in Boots. She screamed but was ok. I have stepped on my other Cats paws too. It wasnt your fault

sending vibes your way..it can happen to anyone. I know my boyfriend accidently stepped on salems tail the other day and he screamed..but he's ok now..

It DOES happen to us all! Try not to feel too bad about it, every child, puppy and kitten gets hurt at some point or other, and its the fact you care that makes you a good mom! Ive had a limping kitten before and it stopped happening after an hour or so and that was the end of it. Fingers crossed the same happens to your kitty!

Scooter is constantly getting his toes or tail stepped on because he is such a nosey little brat. He screams like you are killing him, and puts on a big production until the treats come out, then he is fine.
I hope Jack is ok. Please keep up posted.

...i'm sure your cat will be okay.

Sending many vibes his way . I hope you get home to find him well and happy

It is so scary when that happens. I've stepped on Isaac so many times and he still tries to steer me with his body.

Here's hoping Jack is fine... I'm sure he is. It does happen to us all though, so don't be so down on yourself. The other day I bent down to pick Zoe up and while lifting her, I realized I was stepping on her tail at the same time (she has a huge fluffy tail! ). It ripped some hair out, I felt horrible but she was fine. She made up for it this morning by running right under my feet and kept going while I almost landed on my face!

Sending lots of vibes!

That has happened with me and Heroine a couple times.I of caurse always cry lol and he never does he goes silent and shaky for a couple mins and then moves on.Sadly its going to happen with cats but the fact that you worry is the importan thing.That makes you a good parent dont be so hard on yourself

Similar thing happened to me the other day with Tiger. I was washing dishes and stepped back not knowing he was right there and stepped on his tail. He screamed and ran away. I went after him, grabbed him and apologized profusely. After a few minutes it was as though it never happened.

More good vibes your way.

You're a good meowmy, and it happens to all of us. I managed to step on Dante's tail the same day I brought him home from a tooth cleaning - what a day for that poor guy! I was so upset, just like you are now. I was so grateful I was wearing house slippers, but still, I'm no light weight.

Poor Jack - he's probably wondering why mom and dad are watching him constantly now, checking every move. But, hey, you've no doubt got the vet's number on speed call, and if Jack so much as winces, he'll be in for a check up because he has a very good mom!

Well things seem to be much better.

Hubby got home from work early and said Jack was running and playing, jumping up on his new cat tree to stretch and scratch!

I just got home from work and you can tell he is still favoring it ever so slightly but is overall his normal self.

I of course still feel awful!

If he is still favoring it tomorrow we may go to the vet--for my peace of mind.

Thanks for all the good vibes guys!

Jack was doing well this morning before we left for work, and hubby said when he got home Jack was doing well--but about 30 minutes before I got home hubby said he started limping again. When I got home at 7 he was limping but now he isn't!

He has jumped on his cat tree--has gone to the highest platform--has stretched out on the sisal on the cat tree. All this without issue.

What should we do? He doesn't appear to be in any pain--we have felt all around the leg and shoulder and it doesn't seem to bother him. But he is still limping?

Should we just see how it goes?

At this point we really can't get him to the vet until Friday evening because of work schedules--I just started a new job and only get 2 personal days the whole year (I'm a nanny)

I'm so paranoid--having been the one to do this is breaking my heart.

He is still limping today. And I feel even worse now. I am making an appt for Saturday just in case we need it.
