Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / August 2006Espy is a pointer cat
I'm not sure that I've ever mentioned this. Espy (3yo DSH) often pauses during walking to look at something, with either of his two front paws in the air. Sort of like a dog that's a pointer. Every once in a while I try to shake paws with him but he doesn't quite get the idea and pulls it away. It isn't that he has pain or anything, he just likes to stand on three paws. He's so weird. Other cats do this? My Maine Coon does that too. Don't know why. Sort of a limp wrist pose. > I'm not sure that I've ever mentioned this.

He's so weird. Other cats do this? How do you know he isn't in pain? Did you wait 'till he was too old to have him declawed?

Still sounds like some sort of pain sensitivity to me. Just a guess, though. IBen >> >> I'm not sure that I've ever mentioned this.

If I hadn't written it and known that Espy isn't declawed I would have guessed the same thing. It doesn't seem to be pain related because it will be either paw. He'll be walking along, start staring at something, and sort of pause in mid motion with one front paw in the air. Then he just continues along. > >> >> I'm not sure that I've ever mentioned this.

I will remain civil with you on this subject, but only so far. > It doesn't seem to be pain related because it will be either paw. > He'll be walking along, start staring at something, and sort of pause > in mid motion with one front paw in the air. Then he just continues > along. I wouldn't limit my assumptions to just the area of his paw... It may be a muscle strain on that leg. A tendon problem. Arthritis perhaps? Maybe an ingrown sheath on one of hiz wee wittle cwaws, or maybe even a splinter... He can't tell you so maybe you need to squeeze here and there a little bit.. I really do not know..... You figure it out. He's your kat. IBen >> >> >> I'm not sure that I've ever mentioned this.

I'll mention it to the vet; I think he's about overdue for shots.
