- By sarah h [gb] Date 11.04.06 17:08 UTC
hi i have not been on for a while as i have been busy, i know this is for dogs, but was thinking i may get some help about a kitten, well i have just today brought a kitten 12 weeks old,looks and and seems healthy , but they told me he was a girl but turns out a boy, but when i you move his tail he pees him self, his back claws seem to be out all the time on one foot, but it is scaring me that when you move his tail he pees, i know i will have to get the vet to look at him, but i would love someone to give me advice, as i have not had a cat for 5 years now, and thank you to anyone who can help

sounds like some nerve damage to me.
Has he been shaken at all? Because shaking can cause this.

I would take him to the vet ASAP.

2 claws?
Sounds like he could be polydactyl which usually isnt a problem but in some cases can be.

Thats fantastic news.

Any chance of seing a picture? I love kitties!:)

Agree with Ella, claws not being retracted is a sign of something not being right, nerves or even neurological. You do need to see the vet.
