It means that Mia is in pain. I would rest her for the next 48 hours. No running, jumping, or playing. Keep her indoors if she is allowed outside. If she still appears painful after this time, then I would take her into the vet for an exam. The vet can diagnose where the pain is coming from, and can dictate a treatment plan for it. She may also benefit from some pain medications, which the vet can prescribe. Please do not give her any human pain medications, as many are toxic to cats and are fatal if given.
