Hello everyone,
I came to this site for advice on fleas a while ago and got some good feedback so here I am again.
We moved a bunch of weeks back, (the cat acclimated perfectly btw, he's very happy)... anyways, today I was moving the last item from the old place to put into our storage here. It's a treadmill. Not a heavy duty one but more of a treadmill made for someone 150 lbs or less.
Anyways, while moving it I broke the latch that holds the walking platform in the stowed position. When I was moving it through the house of course the cat had to investigate this relic from the old house and all of a sudden the thing unfolded and fell right on top of him. There are raiser bars on the bottom of the treadmill platform to adjust for elevation, thanfully those were in the highest position. (Which leaves about 4 inches from the platform to the floor.
After it fell on him he immediately ran and hid under the bed. I ran and grabbed him out and went over him pretty thoroughally and he seemed ok but I am still really concerned.
First I pressed all over his belly to make sure his important parts were okay. Then I went around and went over each leg, paw, shoulder, etc. He didn't seem like I was hurting him through all of that.
This happened this afternoon, about 7 hours ago. Within seconds he was eating a few treats (before I examined him) and within an hour he has visited his food and water dish, played with a couple of his toys and was just lounging around.
He definently seems all right but still I want others opinions.I love my cat and dont want him to be hurt or worse.
The only thing I"ve noticed is his head is a little warm. But I mean this might not be anything bad as I've always noticed his ears were pretty warm, and plus I've also read in the past that cats body temperatures are a few degrees higher than humans.
I'd appreciate any advive. Like I said, he is visually fine, no limping or anything, but still I am worried.
