My cat is limping on his front left leg. He started limping about 10pm last night. The only thing that we can think of that might have caused it is that he may have trapped his leg under my DD's bedroom door. It was closed and he was lying on the floor directly outside the door trying to get in. DD opened her door to see what was going on and we think his leg might have been underneath it at the time. He didn't cry out in pain or anything but we noticed immediately that he was limping.
I have checked his leg and I can't see anything obvious. It doesn't seem to hurt him when I touch it. He can still jump okay and walk and run but just has this limp. I have monitored it throughout the day and it seemed to go at one point. But he has just woken up from a long sleep and he is now limping again.
Should I take him to the vet? As I say it doesn't appear to be bothering him and I can't see anything wrong. Do you think he might have just bruised it a little?
