Why is my indoor cat limping for a week with no swelling or pain?

Question

I have a 6 yr old indoor only cat that is limping. Sometimes she will hold her paw up and not use and sometimes she will use it but limps. Its a multi cat household and they run and chase and jump a lot! I have moved her paw and leg at all joints with no guff from her, and no swelling. Could this be a leg sprain? Its been about a week with no change. I have noticed her stretch on her scratcher and extend her claws and scratch, and jump still. Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Female | 11 lbs

It's possible there is a sprain or a break if the limp is persisting. It would be best to bring Morgana to your vet for an X-ray and an exam to check for sprains, breaks, or even an infection hidden under the skin that could be causing discomfort.
