My kitten squeals jumping on/off furniture. Is he in pain?

I've noticed that my 3 month old kitten recently squeal every time he jumps off the coach or the bed onto the floor or if he we to jump on. Is this something to be concerned about? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male

Yes, I would be concerned in that this squealing could mean it hurts Sam to jump off the couch or bed, or when he's trying to jump on something. I would have him seen by a vet for this, as it's important to diagnose if he is in pain and what's causing it so he can be treated. Please do not give him any human pain medications, as many are toxic to cats and are fatal if given. The vet can prescribe him safe pain medication if needed. Until he sees the vet, rest him and do not allow him to jump on or off the furniture.
