Thread: Help request -- advice with maine coon 'clicking' when walking

Hi, my MC is 13 this spring and he's developing arthritis. Pretty typical of big cats. Also, MCs are susceptible to hip dysplasia. But, I think at 3 years old, yours is fine.

In my amateur opinion, I think your cat just clicks. I can pop my ankle continuously and it doesn't hurt at all. Bas kitty clicks a little when he gets up, usually after sleeping. Think positive: your cat can never sneak up on you! ha!

Talk to the doctor and see how that goes. If all is well, ask him about a joint supplement in case your kitty is/will develop arthritis. I found a liquid that is added to water and Bas loves it and always drinks it. It's all natural. I found this at Petco for around $20. It's, Natural Pet Pharmaceuticals for Felines - Muscle, Joint and Arthritis Reliever. 100% Safe Natural Medicine. Also, see if your area allows chiropractors to practice animal chiropractic (my state does). If not, talk to the doctor and see if he knows anyone that can do animal chiropractic (vets can learn about adjusting animals but in our state chiro is chiro and the chiro knows how to adjust the body). Call the licensing boards, talk to your doctor, and of course, watch that kitty!
