I think somethings wrong

Sambuuka, Our 9 year old cat, was out all night last night. When he came in,he was quiet, and slow moving. I went to pick him up earlier, and he hissed at me. there's a sore on his paw as well. im guessing he got in a fight, but the vet isn't open. He's also a diabetic. Would that affect his injury if he does in fact have one? I don't think so, but I'd rather know for sure.

I all you can do is keep an eye on him and get him to the vets as soon as they are open.

Hopefully he is just a little sore from a fight etc but it is better to be safe than sorry. he may have fallen.

keep him in and make sure he has somewhere warm and quiet to rest. Also make sure he has plenty of fresh water available. then when the vets is open take him for a proper examination.


Let us know if he is Ok by leaving a comment on this post. I always like to know what the vets says etc. :)
best wishes Kate
