My cat fell from bed and limped. She seems fine now. What should I do?

Question

My cat fell today from bed , she fell on her left hand she screamed when she fell and started limping but after like 2 minutes she started walking normal and playing , then i gently started touching her left hand and she didn't show any sign of discomfort or pain , does that mean that she's okay or should i do something else? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | 3 months and 5 days old

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Kiara! It is a good sign that she is not longer limping and isn't painful when you touch her paw. My hope is that she just strain/sprained the paw and scared herself. I would try to rest her for a day or 2 and watch for return of the limp. If she starts to limp again and it persists then I would take her to the Vet. Otherwise I think she will be fine. Do not give her any human medications as cats can not tolerate them and they are toxic. I wish you and Kiara the best!
