Twice today my cat's legs have given way.

She was scratching with one leg in the air and fell sideways. The second time she jumped down from the chair and her leg didn't support her. Is this due to her arthritis? She has it in her back left leg.

It could be. Is she limping? My cat tore his cruciate ligament due to arthritis so it would be worth taking her to the vet tomorrow. I hope she is alright.

She isn't limping and seems happy.

I guess it could be an ear infection because they make you dizzy. My cat jumped over the stairgate with his torn ligament, so you can never tell with them. I'm glad she's happy. I would go to the vet just to make sure nothing was wrong and put my mind at rest. Smile

She has been to the vets a lot lately. I will see how she is when the kids have gone to bed and she can get peace.

I hope a good night's sleep will do the trick and she'll be better in the morning.

My cat does this too. He's always done it though. I got him checked he's just clumsy.

She is fast asleep at the moment. She was awake for a yawn and needs to sleep again now Grin.
