We live and learn, hopefully  I sure hope that whatever her problem is, it can be easily dealt with. 10 is not that old but I hear you, I think my older cat might have arthritis too. She is a paw short so she has always limped and she will never put her paw on the laminate floor because there is no traction. She seems to be limping WAAAY more lately. In the end..... cats have a very high pain tolerance as we know and a little love goes a very looong way ✌️Your a great Mum! 卵亂
Thank you, mon! We usually don't let our clients hold their pets during an exam in case something like that happens. Since I work there, I usually hold my cat. This time I thought I try something different. So much for that.
Mindy is much more tortie than I though she was.
Still very quiet today, she's hanging out on the dryer where it's warm. Another reason for me to believe she might have pain issues.
