Our old cat seems to have a paw problem — tomorrow may be vet day
We noticed earlier today that our 12-year-old cat, Tigra, is being very sensitive about her right front paw. She's not cleaning or licking it excessively such as she might if there were a sticker in the paw. And her leg and leg joints don't seem to be sore or tender to the touch.
She simply won't put any weight on her right front paw, although she is very gently using that paw to lick then use to groom her face.
So maybe nothing's wrong, and we'll keep an eye on her to see. We're wondering if she might be experiencing some soreness in the front joint of her leg -- arthritis or something, perhaps, due to her aging?
Tomorrow, if she's still favoring it and seems sensitive, could be a day to take her to the vet.
