Answer 1

Cats will attack when in pain or fearful.  Make sure you use a blanket to pick her up and do not drive her to the vet without her being in a carrier or box.  It sounds like she does need to got to the vet asap.

Answer 2

Please take your cat to the vet now.  His response means something is indeed wrong but it's hard to know through a home diagnosis.  He could have a sprain, broken bone or worse, an animal bite.  If it's a bite, it could get infected very fast.

Answer 3

sigh...when there are problems like this why do people wait for some random online person to awnser, the cat needs vet attention!, pls make a appointment, obviously the cat is in pain

Answer 4

vet.

cat is in pain. he will attack if you hurt him.

wrap a heavy blanket around him , like a mummy, when you bring him to the vet, so he cant attack you.

foot could be broken, dislocated, infected.

Answer 5

It could be broken or he could have an abscess ....either way he NEEDS to see a vet !!

Answer 6

I'm not sure what happened; he could have jumped, and his foot caught on something. You did good calling your dad. His foot is probably broken, but if he gets the proper veterinary care, he will heal. In the meantime, try not to touch your cat. Do you have a cat carrier or kennel or even a large dog crate somewhere? If you do, line the bottom with rags and such and put him in there with his food, water, and litterbox. My cat broke his foot a few years back jumping, and we did that, with a large dog crate, while he was healing with his cast on. He wasn't supposed to jump while he was healing, so make sure your cat doesn't jump until he's healed and can get veterinary care. Good luck, and (((healing vibes))) for your kitty!
