Poor Bella! She could be skinny from an illness, insufficient diet, or intestinal worms. Limping is a sign of pain is cats, and she may be falling from the pain or is very weak. She sounds pretty sick to me, and I think she needs to see a vet now. Please take her into a vet immediately. Best of luck.
