Came home about two weeks ago and found my cat walking strangely. When walking, his hind
legs keep shifting from side to side like a skater. Also he can't jump anymore. I've
examined him, squeezed and groped his legs, his back and paws, no reaction from him.
Besides that he behaves like an ordinary cat, eats sleeps and purrs. He walks a short
distance, stops, starts again.

What gives?

Thanks

Bob

Did it occur to you to take the cat to the vet?

This cat must see the vet asap. This is no minor thing. It may be a problem
with his legs, spine or internal organs. A vet is the only one who can
diagnose and treat him. Please keep in mind that cats have a natural
instinct to hide pain or illness. Even though the cat seems OK, he may be
in significant pain or discomfort. Please see your vet. Best of luck to you
and your kitty.
