In most cases, stepping on your cat won’t cause any major problems and we’ll naturally retract our foot as soon as we feel our cats beneath us. Read about the 5 crucial steps in dealing with this issue.
Take a deep breath and ask yourself, “Did I just put all my weight on my cat or did I react in time?” It’s rare that someone is able to accidentally put all their weight on a cat.
You’re not always going to be able to tell exactly what part of your cat you stepped on. Oftentimes, the accident just happens too fast. But, at least try to figure out which part you know you didn’t step on.
There’s a chance your cat is a little freaked out and even if she isn’t injured – she is certainly surprised. You should approach your cat slowly and give her some time to calm down.
Pay close attention to your cat over the next few hours. If there’s any kind of fracture or significant internal injuries, you’ll soon notice changes in your cat’s behavior.
In the end, it’s always a good idea to consult your veterinarian, especially if you notice any changes in your cat’s behavior, or a sensitivity to a specific area.
