Poorly paw

My Claudia has hurt her leg--and wouldn't you know it, she's done it on a Saturday as usual, and after hours too. I think one of the local vets is open tomorrow though. She's lying in her basket purring away and giving me silent meows, but she's got a really bad limp; living up to her name in Latin. Poor little girl.

[goes off to her own bed, worried]

[purrs and an appealing silent meow (she read the book) from Claudia.

Gentle scritch, don't want to make it worse.

I rather think she's enjoying all the extra attention. She's a cuddly and affectionate cat anyway; all three are.

Oh yes, I remember Thomas sometimes purred when he was in pain. Poor Claudia. I hope you can find a vet in the morning.

I know that purring can help healing, but she's only purring when we talk to her or stroke her (which is what she always does so this is good). She actually seems fine apart from her limp, and she's quite capable of climbing the stairs and jumping into bed with us.

And no, none of the vets round here are open. The closest emergency one is over 20 kms away and when I spoke to them on the phone, they said if she's bright and cheerful, eating, and grooming (which she is) then to leave it till tomorrow. She's standing on all fours and eating biscuits as I speak. We'll still take her in tomorrow though.

Aww, poor kitty. Hope she's OK.

She seems absolutely fine apart from the limp. We're taking her in tomorrow to make sure.

Poor wee girl - I hope it's nothing serious.

It doesn't seem to be. She's fine apart from the limp, but I'm leaving her at the vet tomorrow to be checked out. Poor sweet silvery girl.

Awww, thanks! As we speak (well, type), she and Tessa are cuddled up together on a heated pad covered in sheepskin in our bedroom. :-) She goes to the vet very soon (it's her left hind leg) and I'll pick her up after work today. I have no idea what she did; she was fine for most of Saturday.

I've got my fingers crossed that it's nothing to worry about.

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2005-06-12 08:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Me too. It must be an injury as she was fine earlier in the day.

poor Claudia :0(

Hope she is better soon x I'll be sending healing thoughts...

Thanks! She's at the vet now and they've got my mobile number. :-P
