The cat in question is approximately nine years old (don't know for sure, adopted six years ago as a supposed three year old). She's always been as agile as any other cat, but since Friday, she's been repeatedly misjudging and missing when she tries to jump up on to things. I've felt around on her legs, paws and back, and she's not uncomfortable at all. She's acting perfectly normal otherwise- eating, normal litter, still playful and affectionate. Half the time when she tries to jump, she ends up falling short, and then tries to pull herself up by her legs (I help her up if I see it happen). What could be going on? Is her eyesight going for some reason?
It will be a while before I can get to the vet, so I'm asking here for ideas. If anyone thinks this might be something urgent, I'll definitely make time for the vet, but since she doesn't seem in pain, I didn't think I needed to rush over to the vet.
