Why is my cat limping and meowing when I touch her back leg?

Question

My cat started to limp in one hind limb (right). Usually she jumps from a bed no more than a feet high. But today same thing happened. And now she is not walking properly. Although she's playful. And doesn't seem to be in any kind of pain but when touched she meows especially if touched on the same leg. This happened 30 minutes ago. Please suggest. Pet's info: Cat | Persian | Female | unspayed | 2.5 lbs

Hi and thanks for posting. Cats do not show pain like we do and they do a great job at hiding it. If she is making noise when you touch the leg, then it means she is in pain. Bella could have a fractured leg or pelvis. She may also have a ligament tear or other injury. I would recommend Bella see her veterinarian to have an exam and x-rays to help determine what the injury is where it is so she can get treatment and start feeling better soon.
