Question:
I have a cat who is 13 years old and I have just come home to visit and she seems to be sore around the rear end. She doesn't like to be petted anymore on either side of her tail or on her back near her tail, and she seems to have trouble with her back legs, just that they seem to shake sometimes. I am getting ready to go away for a few days and I need to know if this would be something serious to take her to the vets immediately. I think she may have trouble going to the bathroom as well.

Answer:
You need to get your cat to the vet before you leave. One of the main reasons is if he is not going to the bathroom and you will be out of the house for a few days. Yes, please get him to the vet and see what they say about him. Since you are going to be gone they may be able to watch and keep an eye on him will you are away! Good luck and let us know!

Answer:
There is definitely something wrong and it sounds like pain. In a cat that age, many things can cause this, and I suggest taking her to the vet to find out what it is so you can alleviate her discomfort.
