Took him to the vet on Friday morning. No physical injury and the one lump I had noticed on his leg, the vet advised was old as it had a scab on it. Cat was given anti-inflam injection and a 5 day course of anti-biotics. After injection, as expected, lameness abated completely. However, cat has been limping again and barely weight bearing since Saturday evening. He doesn't react to any pressure anywhere on his leg, shoulder, chest, sole of foot etc etc. He is fine in himself - playing, jumping up and down, eating, etc etc. It's very strange!

I will have a think about doing an article on them alone. Regards, Scott Hello Gloria,

This is becoming a known problem in the larger breeds e.g. Maine Coons which are becoming more popular. I think owners need to be made aware of this as I for one thought this was a "dog thing".
