My cat's front legs shake. Could it be nervousness after adoption?

Question

Is it ok if his front legs shake a little sometimes? We went to the vet just for a check up and they said he looked good. He is a shy and nervous kitty just adopted to us so I’m hoping it’s just that. Pet's info: Cat | Snowshoe | Male | neutered | 1 year and 11 months old | 8 lbs

Hello. It very well may just be that Simon is a bit of a nervous kitty. The only other plausible explanation might be some kind of neurological condition going on, but I would think your vet would have seen something else during the exam to corroborate this. A slight difference in pupil size or even a slight abnormal movement in the eyes, for example. Otherwise, I do not think I would be overly concerned about this, either.
