Hi! I was playing with a string with my cat and accidentally hit him in the head. He continued playing with the string after and jumped on the shelf a couple of times. Do you think he’ll be alright?

If Mischief seems completely normal, he is likely fine. This article is about dogs but signs of a concussion in a cat would be about the same: https://www.petcoach.co/article/concussions-in-dogs-what-you-should-know/ If needed, have Mischief examined by the veterinarian and please feel free to post any additional questions.
