Hi Jane, how old is Meesha and do you have other bigger cats in the house? Reason I ask is because I have a kitten and another cat of mine liked to bully her, she was not herself for a couple of days, sore limbs and crying when she tried to walk. Maybe the others are being a little too rough with her?

Meesh is only 2, but her son Sabby (nearly 18 months) is much bigger than her!  But ... she was alone when she hurt herself, and I've seen her do it before.  Although she and the other two playfight, they are never over-rough with each other ... mostly gentle tumbling around on the floor in a double heap of fur!!  :Luv: 

Your poor little kitten tho! :(  That sounds nasty :(

I am sure Meesha will be fine quickly, cats have such great powers of recovery and she sounds a darling  ;D

Oh dear!  Meesha rushes at everything, and sometimes gets it wrong.  She was fine when she came in for her tea, but a short while later I found her on the landing lying down (nothing unusual) but when she went to get up to greet me she let out a loud cry ... she was really hurting, and had a bad limp.  Bless her, little darling, she realised I was helping her when I gently encouraged her into the carrier to go to the vets. 

This is the fourth time (to my knowledge) this has happened, and the second time I have had to take her to the vets ... just to make sure, and for a pain killer shot.  She keeps damaging her cruciate ligament - are there any other puds out there who seem susceptible to this kind of injury?  She always recovers much faster than I expect ... no doubt she'll be jumping about tomorrow as if nothing had happened!  (although she will stay in tomorrow).  She's already a lot better, although some of that will be the pain killer.

I think she's a brilliant little cat though - when we got home she gently head-rubbed me as if to say 'thank you', and when I hurt her earlier by touching her sore spot she hissed, and struck out with her paw, but her claws were all completely sheathed!  What a sweetheart  :Luv: :Luv:
