Kitten with hurt foot, is this normal?
About an hour ago one of my 2 month old kittens got herself a little hurt. She got a couple of her little toes a little squished. I have been playing with her a little, well she won't play with her front paw that's on the same side of her hurt back toes. She curls it up in a ball and pulls it to her chest. Is this normal? She never did it before. Or could she just be being silly?
There not cut or anything just a little squished. So no infection and its just a little part of her toes. She's not pulling in the foot that got hurt just the one on the same side of her body. Her toes on her back foot are hurt she's pulling in the front paw. She's not acting like she's in major pain, just a little sensitive. Trust me if I thought it was bad I would have been in my car an hour ago.

He is trying not to put pressure on the injury. If your kitten has her paw curled up, she could have a broken toe, or worse. My best bet is that you call the vet now, because they are open on Mondays-Saturdays.
It might not be as serious as I though though. If she doesn't seem better in an hour, call your veterinarian, and see what she recommends and ask if a visit will be necessary.
Ok, I'm gonna edit my answer because it looks like you didn't understand me. I said just to call your vet, to make sure everything is ok. This is not serious enough to go to the vet, but she might be in pain and not letting you know. It's probably not even serious. Just get your vet's phone number and call the vet.

I won't ask how your cat's foot got "crushed" but I will tell you that it only takes about 5 pounds of pressure to break a bone in the human foot..so imagine what it would take to break a bone in your teeny tiny little kitty's foot.
If she is favoring the other foot for a while, I would definitely have it looked at. Animals do not exhibit pain the same way as humans.

No she's not being silly-- she is definitely in pain - better take her to a vet before the foot gets worse (i.e. infection,or worse)

Take her to the vet just in case. If she walks on it fine and isn't meowing and crying alot then she is okay, but if she is cryign and limping then take her to teh vet.
