Cat walking strange

[cat12344]

Hi all, my cat who's 10 months old started walking strange on Friday. She was spayed about 6 weeks ago and it healed up perfectly. The scar is gone and her fur is starting to grow back. I noticed she was acting a bit odd, kind of like she was just a teenager in a mood. Then when she was walking it's like her back legs are heavy? That's how I'd describe it. Then when she walks forward she will lie down. It's like her back legs are stiff? I can't explain it. She is eating normal, and using the toilet and is her usual purry self (she's a huuuge purrer) she won't come to me when called sometimes but if I shake the treat bag she comes absolutely running from upstairs but weirdly. Shes not showing any signs of pain, I've checked her legs stood her up on them and she's not meowing or crying out. Shes jumping up onto her cat tree fine and still sitting on her back legs (she's like a meerkat) it's just when she's walking? I added a photo of how she is sitting/lying down after walking somewhere but not always. She's still lying on her back & being all cute. I added 2 more photos they're all within 10 minutes of each other. Not sure whether to contact a vet or give it a few days as she may have jumped off a wardrobe and hurt her leg or something?

Just to add she's completely indoor, never been out

I would definitely see the vet. Cats are so good at masking. Does she go outside? Abscesses cause this kind of thing in cats and aren't easy to spot.

No she is indoor only

I'd take her to the vet if she's still like it tomorrow, just to be on the safe side.

Take her to the vet. Cats are very stoical so it can be difficult to tell if they are struggling/sick.

I'm calling my vet tomorrow, I've looked online for a lot of things and it seems like the most likely thing is that she has left over tissue from her spay.

I've got an appointment booked for 5.30, she's acting a bit more normal playing with her brother today but still walking strange. I'd rather her be seen to put my mind at rest!
