Kitten with long hinds

[Smarl]

This might be me overworrying, but my (around 10 weeks old) kitten's back hinds are quite long, and she's walking in a bit weird forward bended position. Is this a normal for kittens in certain age? I added couple of images, but they are not the best.

Hi
Is she able to jump up, as well as down?

 

[Smarl]

Yeah she's able to jump. Only her walking looks pretty "stiff" or somehow weird - like she'd keep her hinds extra straight while taking steps.

You might ask the vet about that next time she's in for shots and/or a wellness check.

You might also see if you can take videos of both your cats walking and compare them. And you could share the video with your vet too. She could be just 'growing into herself'.

Thanks for answering! I'll ask when she'll get her next shots. I've been observing couple of days, and it just might be that's she's growing and that's the reason of clumsiness/stiffness. She's been at vet appointment twice already, and they didn't mention anything about her walking so it might be ok.

She’s probably just in an in-between growing stage.
