Hello there! I’m sorry to hear about your kitty’s injury. Soft tissue injuries, like sprains or strains, can be uncomfortable, but with some TLC, your feline friend should be back to normal in no time.
Cats are quite agile, but accidents happen. Soft tissue injuries often occur from jumping or twisting awkwardly. You might notice your cat limping, avoiding jumping, or licking at a sore spot. The good news is that many minor soft tissue injuries heal with rest and care.
Ensure your cat has a quiet, comfortable space to relax. It’s important to limit their jumping and climbing to prevent further strain. You can also use a warm compress gently applied to the affected area for about 10 minutes, which can help reduce swelling and discomfort. Keep an eye on them to ensure they’re using the litter box and eating as usual.
Watch for signs of worsening, such as increased swelling, persistent limping, or if your cat is in significant pain. If you notice any of these, or if the condition doesn’t improve in a few days, it’s time to seek further advice.
For a more personalized assessment, consider booking a video consult with Dial A Vet. We can discuss your cat’s symptoms in detail and provide additional guidance. Take care, and I wish your kitty a speedy recovery!

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
