Hi, there's something wrong with my cat, Mitu, and I am trying to figure out what it is.
All this started about 2 days ago, he got out of his litter box and he started limping of his right, back foot. I noticed he had some pee on it so I thought that was bothering him. I cleaned his foot and he was ok after. Yesterday night I noticed the same thing, again after he got out of his litter but this time there was no pee. I followed him into the bedroom and he was fine.
Last night tho, I woke up at the sound of him trying to get into his bed, I didn't really saw what he was doing but as soon as I said its ok, he jumped in the bed and felt asleep with me.
This morning he first pooped, when he got out, limping again, just a bit. Then, he went to pee, he peed, he cleaned the litter and when he got out again, he started limping but this time he started doing this movement of going backwards and forwards and then to the ground like he was scared of something. I said its ok Mitu, and then He calmed down a bit. So, now that I think about it, it was the same movements he was doing last night. I picked him up and I start touching everything to see if he crys when I do it. I looked at his toes, legs, back, neck....he doesn't cry at all when I touch him, I even brushed him and he didn't say anything besides purring like the usual.
Now, besides this he runs thru the house, he playes, eats, drinks water, everything else seems normal.
I can get to the vet on Friday or Saturday, I called them and they said to keep an eye on him and that it shouldn't be an emergency...but I want to figure it out what this can be.
Can anyone help me? Is this something I should worry about, any suggestions on what I can do or check?
Thank you.
