Oh dear. Teresa fell over and injured her head. I’ve had a car crash, and several ‘life crashes’. And now Chester has something up with his right-rear leg.
Teresa noticed he was out of sorts. She was worrying that he was sleeping too much. I was like, ‘Nah, he’s fine. That’s just what cats do.’ And, sure, they do naturally sleep a lot. But Teresa was right.
We investigated, and it quickly became apparent his rear end was not right. And he was meowing more often and more plaintively than normal. Finally he got out of his chair, and limped over to his food bowl.
Clearly he was trying not to use his right-rear leg. Bless him! Limping gingerly along. We’re tried to gently examine the area, and I’m taking him to the vets shortly. But I can’t see any obvious wounds.
I do hope he hasn’t been hit by a car. And that nothing serious has happened to him. Teresa and I have no spare money. What is the vet going to do/ask for?
