Hi,my 11wk old male kitten has extra long limbs and tail,he's a normal moggy kitty,no special breed.
When he runs or even sometimes while just walking,his paws bend under and he keeps going like that!!!,he's not in any pain.
His joints are quite big but not inflammed as they don't cause pain to him.
I also have his brother and he's not like this.
He's of normal body size...just has really long legs that twist and turn in odd manner.I hate to say this,but he's also a bit slow in the brain department,he can be looking at you but if you speak or touch him he leaps in fright,as if hasn't seen you,plus very clumsy(forgets to put on the brakes when running).
Could this be linked to the leg problem??.
The vet said he couldn't find anything wrong,just said he has double joints,but that was when he was 7wks old.
When sleeping his front legs are like that of a lamb or foal,bent under him(he can even walk around like that).
Should I be more concerned and take him back to the vet??

All you can do is check with a vet who's willing to figure out what's going on and whether there can be future complications.
