My 4-m old kitty somehow got her back leg hurt 2.5 days ago. She's limping, appetite is fine though Kitty mostly sleeping, but sometimes climbing at the couch, just walking around, without using sick leg. When she laying around and stretching, wounded leg shaking a little, but i noticed, that she's tried to scratch herself with sick leg even. Can it be just a strain or something worse? She's got a lot of fear for an outside and it's not pleasant for her to travel for a vet.

My oldest cat Starbuck is terrified of being in the car and hates being in the carrier.  She was abandoned out a car window when she was a baby and has been scared of being in the car since.  My current vet gave me a sample Feliway wipe to try.  My hubby wiped down the carrier before her last vet visit.  It really helped her.  She still fought him a little bit going into the carrier.  It would usually take two of us to get her in the carrier.  Hubby had to take her to the vet while I was at work.  She was much calmer in the carrier and in the car.  She normally would scream like she was being murdered and pee in her carrier.  She only complained a little bit in the car this time and did not pee on herself at all.  She also came out of the carrier when she got home and hung out with my hubby instead of spending hours hiding under the bed.  My hubby told me she was a different cat.  Perhaps you could see if your vet has a sample wipe they could give you.  This product may also be available locally at pet stores in your area.  This may be helpful to your baby just like is for mine.  If this were my cat I would take her to the vet to get that leg checked out.
