Hello everyone!

haven't been on a while, back in May my friend found what looked like a 1.5 month old kitten.
He's doing great now, just reached 6 months but the past 2 maybe 3 months I've noticed sometimes when I pick him up or when he moves/stretches a joint will crack/pop.

Mind you it's not every time he moves, I would maybe hear it once a day, max twice or even every other day during the time I'm around him.
I told the vet and he was like ooo.. that's something we should monitor, didn't sound too re assuring lol.
So I'm just wondering what do you guys think or if you've had this happen to you before and from your experience is it really that bad?

Thank you everyone for reading! have a beautiful day 😊

Hi. I have no experience with this, but if it were me, I might ask the vet about getting an x-ray just to see if anything shows up. If nothing does, the x-ray could be used as a baseline to compare with future x-rays, checking for changes in the joints.

What did the vet suggest as a way of 'monitoring' it?
