Hi there, give CityVets a bell first thing and bring her in - cats have a high pain threshold so she may have done more damage than is evident. It's possible she landed badly or something and may have a break or torn ligaments. On the other hand, hopefully she just has a thorn in her paw but she needs to be checked. If her condition worsens over Christmas it'll be more hassle to get her seen. Try and contain her in one room for the night so she can't do too much leaping about. Good luck, hope it's nothing serious.

thanks much!
gunna bring her to the vet tomorrow, have a hot water bottle up beside her, shes not too keen on anyone near her leg.

We had a problem with our kitten last week she was limping. Was going to bring her to vet but after about a day or two she was flying around again so might be a strain just keep an eye out. I'd recommend the pet hospital if you do need to bring your cat

+1 for The Pet Hospital down next to Three Shippes Pub

She'll be delighted with her hot water bottle - great to see someone care properly for their pet! Let us know how you get on. Have heard great things about Tadhg too but love CityVets myself so either will do the job nicely!

always happens with cats and dogs, they strain their leg or paw...after a day or two they start running around like normal again, most animals are much much tougher than humans. if she doesnt start hoping around again in a day or two get her checked out

all is ok, the next day she was fully recovered!
Not a limp or anything, so possibly got a bit of a kick or she cramped up or something.

She probably has a doppelganger that shows itself now and again, cats are very strange independent callous beings, I'd say like women only the wife reads my posts.be careful around cats they know more than you know.
