Bone Clicking?

It's so weird. My beloved cat, Hobbes, has this clicking sound when he
walks. He's not limping at all and continues to run and play as if
nothing is wrong. But this clicking sound is emitting from his left
paw (arm). It kind of sounds like a bone clicking and has been around
for about 3 weeks now. I thought it would go away at first but it
hasn't. I don't want to take him into the vet because he doesn't seem
to be affected and my vet would take xrays and charge another small
fortune. (I've been there a lot yet with my other cat.)

Has anyone ever experienced this?

Never had this experience myself...but, a freind had a cat who's bones were
making noises & he took Jive to a kitty chiropractor... worked wonders...
Good luck.

Not with a cat, but I have a bone clicking in my knee and it hurts like
hell. Your cat really should see the vet and have the xray to determine
whether it's arthritis or an injury and to find out the proper treatment.

SUgar was creaking for a while. Same thing. Didn't slow down her tearing
around or playing but I could hear her walk "creak, creak, creak". It seems
to have gone away now though. (Just watch. Now that I say that, she will
start creaking again tonight.)

Hi Karen - Can you tell me how long your sugar was creaking before it
stopped? Of course, I'm assuming she's not creaking tonight. :^)
Thanks!

You know, I'm not *certain* when it started, but probably a month or two?
No, haven't heard creaking yet.

People like you never cease to amaze me.

It's people like you who are sad. You are so judgmental and will throw
a verdict down before knowing the entire story. It's people like you
who give the newsgroups a bad name.

Oh for Christ's sake, take your cat to the VET.

No, but it would worry me enough to take her to the vet. Bill collectors
don't bother me as much as thinking my kitty may be in pain. Cat's are *SO*
good at hiding pain. Just read some of my posts about Bandit's recent
trauma and how badly and how long she was in pain *without me even
knowing*!! When we did realize what was going on, I just charged the
emergency vet bill to the Visa card and I'll worry about making those
payments later.

One of the responsibilities of having a cat is providing for their health
care, so I just suck it up and do it even if it puts me in debt. And on the
topic of debt...

[OT]

Right after my divorce from the abusive, alcoholic @$$HOLE (who didn't pay
child support, cancelled the insurance on our kids, stole my car, left me
*thousands* of dollars in debt, and harrassed me at every turn until I
threatened to run him over in the street), I was in *bad* financial straits.
Bill collectors would call almost daily. Most were understanding when I
told them I was really trying to pay off my debts. But one really
persistent jerk would call me daily just to complain about his unpaid bill.
Finally I got fed up with him and said, "Look, I only have so much money
coming in every month. It doesn't amount to the cost off all my bills. I'm
trying to be fair to everyone, so every month I put all the names of my
creditors in a hat and then draw out names until my money is all gone. That
way everybody at least gets a fighting chance to get paid. But if you call
me one more time this month, Buster, your name isn't even going into the
hat!!!" ; The kids and I still use that on each other and laugh - "you
agravate me any more, mom, and your name isn't going into the hat!!!" [Some
time I'll have to tell y'all about the time I really did try to run over the
@$$HOLE with my car - it's a funny story!]
