If a cat has a hard time jumping up I would consider something wrong
with muscle, bones, tendons, nerves, backbone, whatever. But if that cat is hesitant to jump down from low places like the bed, I think eyesight problem is more likely. Perhaps she is nearsighted so she has a tough time judging depths. ? |

om... If a cat has a hard time jumping up I would consider something wrong with muscle, bones, tendons, nerves, backbone, whatever.

I think a lack of jumping may also be due to a vestibular problem - whether current, or residual from an earlier illness. Lots of possibilities. Cathy -- "Staccato signals of constant information..."

Is there anyway to test for nearsightedness in cats? She seems to find bugs on floors OK, but they're usually pretty close to her face as she follows them with her eyes. I don't know what would happen with small things at a farther distance. Think an eye chart would work ;-)? rona |
