This is Thomas, he was abandoned and found his way to my road and I've taken him in.
He was a bag of bones but otherwise doesn't have a scratch on him apart from limping on his front left leg.
I took him to the vet for a check up and he said he was healthy, it was probably a fracture and just to keep an eye on him.
He's been copying my two cats and after seeing him relaxing on top of the suitcases on top of the 2m high shelving unit, he has been limping on his back left leg. I haven't seen him up there since.
Both limps are improving slowly, he's a pretty relaxed cat but does occasionally want to join in with a game of chase. He's not sensitive at all on his legs and he eats, drinks, uses the litter tray, jumps up onto the sofa and windowsills fine.
What I'm wondering is how long does it take for something like this to heal? He's only just got to incredibly skinny from how-are-you-even-alive skinny so I'm wondering if that would make a difference. His paw pads were terribly calloused and that's all coming off too.
