My girl did this! Years ago my cat came in hopping, completely unable to put weight on her foreleg. I was so worried I took her to the emergency vet, fearing she’d been hit by a car or something. I got there and placed her carrier on the counter and explained the problem almost through tears… only to open the door and for her to trot out on all four legs and jump down with no hesitation! That little idiot cost me £85 for absolutely nothing. The vet said she might have got in a fight too and was feeling a bit sorry for herself, but there was no evidence of a fight and she had no injury at all. I think she was just bored and messing with me.
EDIT: I found the photo I took at the time! April 2018, I’m still not sure I’ve forgiven her 😅
My cat did that for five times before we stopped taking it to the vets. I think she thought that if she did that would give a tuna fish because we’d feel sorry for her.
Omg 5 times?! I’m still sore about her doing it once!
That unrepentant look on her face. I love it.
Yup! That was after we got back from the vet when she was magically “injured”again. She stopped doing it when I made it clear I wasn’t buying it. But when my partner got home from work the limp returned… only on the other leg! 😂 I love that little idiot!
Do cats fight in groups? Like if there is a cat intruder in your house and you have 2 cats.
Are they going to fight side by side or only one of them is going to face the intruder cat?
When my neighbors cat enters the backyard my two cats suddenly turn into a crime fighting duo, even the dog gets in on the action, it’s all paws on deck against the intruder.
The rest of the time they’re all vying for control of their piece of the house.
I’m curious what “lost a fight” looks like to a vet when there were no visible wounds.
The other cat went merrrrrrrwwwowwww at him, forcing him to walk away slowly over the course of 10 minutes.
Most catfights involve a lot of hissing and spitting and no actual contact.
