Those are abnormal signs. Cats try not to show problems when they are sick so if he’s acting this way then I’d listen to him and take him in for an exam and treatment. He may have an injury or underlying medical condition causing these symptoms. From the photo he looks a little dull. They will feel him all over for pain or injury causing the abnormal walking, and check for infectious disease and organ function. Once they have a diagnosis then they can start the appropriate treatment. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Junior.
