kitten with pigeon toes

My daughters cat has had kittens one has pigeon toes. I'm wanting to take her home once old enough, is she firstly in any pain secondly going to manage with this problem?

I'm not sure what pigeon toes are in a kitten.  Can you post a picture?

Hi it's where her front paws bend inwards! She's fully mobile but is the smallest of the three so I'm guessing it's going to take time for her to strengthen up? Over the last couple days she seems stronger! Just need to know if it's going to be a problem or do cats adapt quite well? Hopefully the photo has downloaded! It's not the best picture I'm afraid
Thanks for looking though

There may be a way to work with her paws so the grow correctly. But  I imagine she will adjust to the pigeon toes.

I bought her a toy so that they can get her to play with it as thought it might strengthen them up that way! I'll persevere with her anyway! My main concern is that she's not in pain but she seems to be getting about ok!

I do not have any suggestions but they look almost like human 'club feet'. I know they put babies feet in braces, but i do not know what to do with a kitten..

any suggestions, anyone? 

StephenQ???  or someone else...

can you kind of exercise it back to the correct position.

In humans: I know in utero, it can be cause be either a genetic defect or something positional while being in the womb. And that is usually easily correct..

Sorry if I am not of any help...She may accommodate herself to it, with no issues at  all...

Good Luck!

There may be some gentle stretching exercises you can do with her.  Catwoman may know if it is possible to correct this.  She will be on later today.

Yes, I too Im thinking it cant hurt do do some streching gymnastics every day, even several times a day.  Make sure she is comfortable and warm*,  anddo the massaging gymnasticks.

Cant hurt, may help.

She will surely adjust if necessayr, but try if you can.

*have perhaps some sort of socks before the gymnastics, alike it was fashion in the gymnasics several years ago "legwormers" they were called, so the muscles and tendons are nicely warm, and thus, easier strechable.

Yes, first of all she has no pain at all, it's simply working her muscles with massage, followed with stretches, working them in an outward position.

This will straighten mainly on their own as she grows, but the best guarantee that they will someday be normal or close to it is to work them now to help correct them.

Thanks everyone for your advice! Only another month and she will be living with us and we are all very excited x
