She favors one front paw this morning. She will let me touch pull and put quite a bit of pressure on the other one but obviously doesn't walk on it unless fully needed. She was in my room all night.all I can think is jumping off the bed. There's no swollen and she's not yowling or anything when checked. So is it minor? Or should I worry she's about 10 weeks old. She's shivering every once in a while which is an indication of pain. but this is also the ONLY pain she's ever experienced so it's probably a bit scary. I'm not sure to take her to the vet, being it can be bent and twisted and pulled on no pain. I just really don't want a bill and them saying its just a sprain here's some pain meds. Any advice would be greatly liked. On the plus side my Lil crazy kitten is being a snuggler so I can easily make sure she doesn't do anything dumb. P.s. she's still being playful just not actively walking.

Ty yes she had.she had me worried but I think she was being over dramatic over her first ouchy.poor baby. She's now walking and playing fine. She now has a new way she climbs down the bed by going down backwards. I'm assuming she learned from jumping and hurting her lil paw.

  Glad she's not hurt.  Such a drama queen (ette)  But sounds like she's pretty smart.

Late response but yes. She has grown into quite the drama queen. She now's runs around playing and because all the adults are less active than she is she now meows at me in Boredom telling me to play. Unfortunately I'm to pregnant to do much than wiggle a cat Fisher, and she gets bored of that in a few second and goes back to meowing about her lack of things to play with (has tons of toys and a cat condo) she has now started messing with human stuff for amusement lol
