DSH Tabby with hind leg that shakes

[ElisaSue]

I rescued my 10 month old DSH Tabby cat 6 months ago.  I have noticed that he snores when he sleeps.  I've read on other websites that is normal.  I have also noticed that sometimes when he is sprawled out and laying on his side the hind leg that is nearest to (being laid on) the ground shakes.  Is this normal?

I'm concerned, should I be?

Thanks for the responses.  I will be getting him checked out as soon as possible.  :)

I agree with Opus.

You need to see a vet. Diabetes causes the shaking of the legs but it needs to be ruled out by an expert, and I'm not even sure that young cats would have this illness. Maybe some x-rays and blood work will give you the answers you so need.

Good Luck!

Hi Elisa, is you're kitty one with a small peaked nose? (ie: persians or bulldogs, pugs etc.) they will tend to snore as this 'break' in their noses causes some obstruction, no not really anything to worry over...unless it becomes alot worse and perhaps surgery would open up the nasal passages a bit.
As for the shaking leg...that I can't tell you much about, have you spoken to a Vet?
Why don't you post this question on our Vet Forum?
