hello, i'm bridget. i just moved in with my dad and a couple of days ago a wonderful thing happened for me and my girls, a kitty about 6-9 months old showed up at the front door. i think someone just dumped him and i have no idea why, he is so sweet and loveable. he does tend to drool when he gets loved but i dont really see that as a problem. well, yesterday he started walking funny, kind of a squat. he keeps his hind legs tucked under and just uses from his "knees" down, with his tail straight up. nothing else has changed, he's eating fine, still as loveable and i gave him a good once over and found no wounds or swelling anywhere. i did find one tick just above the knee and removed it. as i said i just moved and dont have money for a vet and really dont know where a good one is here. a friend of mine from back home(who has 7)seems to think he may be constipated or hurt hisself jumping and will be fine in a couple of days. i did notice the day he came i saw a tick on the skin part of his butt but i didnt know how he would react to a stranger pulling around back there and i also got him a flea collar the day before he acted this way. he seems to like us and we like him. we've even named him jax after a neighboring city back home in florida. i see this as a chance that he found a family to love him and i know nothing of his history as this may be why they didnt want him anymore. if anyone knows anything of this PLEASE let me know. thank you
