Limping Cat

I'm just venting really as alone and no one to call to worry with.

My poor cat is limping. Won't put pressure on one of his front paws at all. He won't let me touch i but it seems very swollen.

We have an appointment with the Vet in the morning.

He's asleep on Ds's bed - I think because it's a cot bed and lower to get onto but he'll leave later when DS goes to bed.

Does anyone know what I can do to make him more comfy until the morning? The vet seemed to think he'd be fine until then but I should call the emergency vet if he doesn't eat or drink for a few hours.

Anyone had similar which turned out to be nothing which some rest couldn't cure??

The vets right, leave him be and if he doesnt eat for a few hours it wont harm him. If he collapses then its time to ring the vet ooh.

Dont give him any human medicines, some are fatal to cats.

My cat fell off the roof and wouldnt weightbear but he was ok. I took him to the vet anyway.

Thanks Fluffy :)

I'm not normally a worrier but I guess it's easier with kids because it's more obvious if something is wrong.

I've tempted him with Tuna - he'll probably start faking it to get more now!
