Hi there, my cat is 3 years old and she's both an indoor and outdoor cat. I noticed this morning that she has a limp on her left hind leg. When i lift her up she doesn't meow, she only meow when she's lying down and adjusting her sitting position. I also noticed she's got a really big appetite, she wants to eat all day..

Pickle could have injured her leg outside. I recommend resting her for the next 48 hours. No running, jumping, or playing. Keep her indoors at all times during this time. 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.
