some of you have probably heard the story " queasy Five month old kitten"  Well,  Pepper has something wrong with her leg.  She won't walk on it and won't let me touch it.  when I touched it, she bit me and hasn't let me touch her sense.

Possibly a broken toenail or toe? Is she putting any weight or very little on that leg? I ask because I had a colony cat that broke his toenail, limped all the way home and he let put him in, until his foot got better, but then he wouldn't stay. You'll need to have his foot x-rayed and some pain meds, possibly antibiotics of the skin is broken.

She has not put any weight on her leg. she has it tucked very close to her body.   When i got ahold of her it didn't feel like a broken leg.   No swelling in the paw or joint.  Weird...

Okay, in this case, I do think its either a broken toe or toenail, which can be very painful.

She is in serious pain and needs a vet asap.

my neighbors like to shoot guns alot. that's how my cat Jack lost his leg.  I hope she wasn't shot.  It doesn't feel like a bullet though. I had ahold of her once of corse.
