cats, mild(?) injury (-) 

Aww, Artie may have sprained her paw. She's limping a bit.

Shemp did this a couple months ago and totally freaked me out, but ended up fine after a day or two. She doesn't cry out when we examine the paw, so I'm suspecting something fairly minor?

We're gonna give her a day or two and keep an eye on it. In the meantime we're tempted to let her spend the night so we at least know what *kind* of trouble she's getting into.

@zebratron2084 Yeah, sounds like it's a minor soft-tissue injury like a sprain, over-extension, or bruise - and I say minor 'cause there's no complaining when you examine it.

Y'all got this. 🤘

re: cats, mild(?) injury (-), the life of international mystery and intrigue our cats don't know they're living 

@LexYeen We probably do, but it's so hard to convince myself sometimes. Thank you for backing me up with a little common sense. <3

Yeah, we looked Her Young Majesty over pretty well and found no trace of blood, swelling, or damage. Objectively her prognosis is probably pretty good but I am a Fret Monster when it comes to those cats. :)

Poor thing probably twisted it skiing in Courchevel behind our backs again. Mission, schmission -- she knows she's not supposed to do that.
