Bob the Himmy

[dorothyb]

Another question about Bobby-she has trouble jumping, even very short distances, like from my desk to the window-sill (about half a foot.) She's OK with jumping up, but not across. Is this normal? I'm starting to think Bob's a mutant-love her to bits anyway.

How old is Bobby? If still a kitten, this is normal. (I must have missed whatever other postings you've posted).

Warmly,

If this is an adult cat, you need to visit the vet for a check-up.

Thanks! Bobby isn't a kitten, so she's off to the vet. She is very strange in many ways-my vet has found nothing seriously wrong, thank God, and many of her strange ways, we put down to her being a rescue cat. So it's often something, but until now, more that she's eccentric than anything else. I've just never had a Himmy before, so lots of questions for more experienced owners.

Himmys are part Persian. Persians aren't very agile cats.They don't jump as well as other breeds.
