Question
I usually let my cat go outside for the first part of the morning and then i bring him in....but lately he has just been meowing like if something is hurting him???? but when he walks he walks really slow??
Cynthia -
Take your cat to the veterinarian for a checkup. Outside cats tend to get hurt more often than inside cats. Perhaps he was fit by a car or manhandled by a dog. A visit to the vet can help determine why your kitty is moving so slowly.
