I recently noticed my 1.5 year old cat sits off to one side- her right. She seems to be not evenly distributing her weight between her hind paws, as if she is trying to keep weight off her left paw.
I am quite certain this is not something I have observed her do in the past. But ever since I noticed it a few days ago, I see that this happens every single time she sits, or “loafs”. Other than this, she seems to be acting completely normal, not even limping. I took her to the vet pretty much immediately after I started noticing this and the vet was not concerned, since she is acting completely normal and was jumping up and down the counters of the examination room, and on physical examination everything was without issue- she didn’t mind having her paw touched in any way. We decided to just watch and wait.
I’m just curious if anyone has ever come across this before? Maybe she just prefers sitting like this? Maybe she and her brother wrestled a little too intensely and her leg is bothering her a little but not too much and it will pass? Should I be worried?
