Hello there! It's understandable to be concerned about any change in your cat's behavior, especially when it involves her movement. Cats can develop strange walking behaviors for a few different reasons. Common causes include minor injuries, such as sprains, or something more significant like arthritis or neurological issues.
One possibility could be that she injured her paw, leg, or back—perhaps during a playful jump. Check her paws for any cuts, swelling, or foreign objects. If she's limping, it's a good idea to keep her from jumping and running and allow her some rest.
Sometimes, an underlying health issue such as arthritis might cause difficulty in walking, even at a younger age. Neurological issues could also lead to strange walking, such as staggering or wobbling.
Keep a close eye on her for changes like refusal to walk, crying when moving, or swollen areas on her limbs. If she's not eating, seems lethargic or is dragging a limb, it could be more serious.
To ensure she gets the care she needs, consider booking a video consult with Dial A Vet. One of our veterinarians can help assess her situation more thoroughly and guide you on the next best steps. It's always better to be safe when it comes to our furry companions!

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
