Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / February 2005We need some "Oops - got hurt while wrestling" purrs :o(
From the time I got home from work tonight, Captain and Stanley have been chasing one another and wrestling. They wrestle gently, for the most part (it looks like it's in slow motion, lol), but they've been going at it for hours. Minus a few breaks to lie down, or to explore the laundry room (when I went in there to wash some clothes), their main game this evening has been "Pounce on My Brother and Wrestle". Finally, about an hour ago, I noticed that Captain has begun favoring his left hind leg. He's flexing it when he lies down, but he's not taking weight on it. I've handled his leg a little bit, to which Captain has offered mild to moderate protest. But I can't see any evidence of broken skin or swelling, nor can I feel anything that's obviously wrong. I'm guessing that he pulled a muscle or sprained something during all that roughhousing, since he was fine when I got home. So I'd be grateful for some speedy-recovery purrs for Captain. Plus, I'll keep an eye on him (as I first saw him limping about an hour ago), and if I think he needs a vet's attention, off to TED we'll go.

I'd say if he's still favoring the leg tomorrow, at least call the vet and explain the situation and see if TED thinks Captain needs attention. With young cats having an excess of high spirits, I'd say it's probably no worse than a temporary soreness. But if he's not putting weight on the leg by morning, have the vet check him out. Melissa aw, we will purr and pray that Captain doesn't have anything wrong with his leg that won't go away during the night. Hope everything is ok.

Hubie is sending out special hoolikitten-to-hoolikitten purrs for Captain's leg. ------ Krista > I'm guessing that he pulled a muscle or sprained something during all that > roughhousing, since he was fine when I got home. That's the likeliest explanation. Speedy Joe once sprained his foot jumping onto a windowledge and he limped for a day during which time we made an enormous fuss of him. The next day he was still limping but on another foot....We soon realised Speedy's thought processes were along the lines of "I limp. I get fusses and extra food. So I'll limp. Which foot was it?" He would actually try one foot after the other in front of us all the time watching us to see if he'd found the right one > So I'd be grateful for some speedy-recovery purrs for Captain.
