[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 324897, member: 3444"] I had a cat that had this same injury at about the same age. He fell off a second floor loft wall inside my house and must have landed wrong, or perhaps his bones weren't that strong to begin with since he was born to a feral mom who probably didn't have the best diet to begin with. The surgery was probably more traumatic for his humans than for him. He recovered just fine and was able to run, albeit with a limp, and play with his litter mate whom we also kept. The muscles adapt to holding the leg in place over time. The limp won't go away completely, but it will get better with time. He lived another 7 years before we lost him to a coyote at our new place. :( I don't regret giving him the surgery at all. [/QUOTE]
