Bone Clicking?
It's so weird. My beloved cat, Hobbes, has this clicking sound when he
walks. He's not limping at all and continues to run and play as if nothing is wrong. But this clicking sound is emitting from his left paw (arm). It kind of sounds like a bone clicking and has been around for about 3 weeks now. I thought it would go away at first but it hasn't. I don't want to take him into the vet because he doesn't seem to be affected and my vet would take xrays and charge another small fortune. (I've been there a lot yet with my other cat.) Has anyone ever experienced this? |

Never had this experience myself...but, a freind had a cat who's bones were
making noises & he took Jive to a kitty chiropractor... worked wonders... Good luck. -- Mathew Butler to 2 kittens: Chablis & Muscat En Vino Veritas "Laura M" wrote in message oups.com...

Has anyone ever experienced this? Not with a cat, but I have a bone clicking in my knee and it hurts like hell. Your cat really should see the vet and have the xray to determine whether it's arthritis or an injury and to find out the proper treatment. -- Catherine & Rosalie the calico |

SUgar was creaking for a while. Same thing. Didn't slow down her tearing
around or playing but I could hear her walk "creak, creak, creak". It seems to have gone away now though. (Just watch. Now that I say that, she will start creaking again tonight.)

Of course, I'm assuming she's not creaking tonight. :^) Thanks! |

It's people like you who are sad. You are so judgmental and will throw
a verdict down before knowing the entire story. It's people like you who give the newsgroups a bad name. |

I don't want to take him into the vet because he doesn't seem to be affected and my vet would take xrays and charge another small fortune. (I've been there a lot yet with my other cat.) Has anyone ever experienced this? No, but it would worry me enough to take her to the vet. Bill collectors don't bother me as much as thinking my kitty may be in pain. Cat's are *SO* good at hiding pain. Just read some of my posts about Bandit's recent trauma and how badly and how long she was in pain *without me even knowing*!! When we did realize what was going on, I just charged the emergency vet bill to the Visa card and I'll worry about making those payments later. One of the responsibilities of having a cat is providing for their health care, so I just suck it up and do it even if it puts me in debt. And on the topic of debt... [OT] Right after my divorce from the abusive, alcoholic @$$HOLE (who didn't pay child support, cancelled the insurance on our kids, stole my car, left me *thousands* of dollars in debt, and harrassed me at every turn until I threatened to run him over in the street), I was in *bad* financial straits. Bill collectors would call almost daily. Most were understanding when I told them I was really trying to pay off my debts. But one really persistent jerk would call me daily just to complain about his unpaid bill. Finally I got fed up with him and said, "Look, I only have so much money coming in every month. It doesn't amount to the cost off all my bills. I'm trying to be fair to everyone, so every month I put all the names of my creditors in a hat and then draw out names until my money is all gone. That way everybody at least gets a fighting chance to get paid. But if you call me one more time this month, Buster, your name isn't even going into the hat!!!" ; The kids and I still use that on each other and laugh - "you agravate me any more, mom, and your name isn't going into the hat!!!" [Some time I'll have to tell y'all about the time I really did try to run over the @$$HOLE with my car - it's a funny story!] Hugs, CatNipped |
