My cat is 14 years old and very healthy and happy. Every now and then he goes outside for like 5-10 minutes and we let him in, he never leaves the backyard. But lastnight, he snuck out of the back door and we didnt know it.. I woke up at 6am and noticed stitchy wasnt in bed with me which was odd. So i got up to look for him and then immediatly knew something was wrong. I heard the meows from outside, i opened the door, he ran in and ate for 20 minutes straight, then had some water. He had a little scratch on his nose but it looks like it was a tree branch not a cat fight. My cat dosnt have front claws so he cant defend himself. I am really worried right now because he is acting wierd, he just looks tired and weak. I dont see any other cuts on him or anything strange. His paws seem weak though. Since he is older i am just assuming the night outside was cold and took alot out of him, so he needs to rest and get better. I do not want to take him to the vet unless extremely necessary, not becuase of money becuase i would pay any amount to get him better. But because he is 14 and hasnt been to the vet since he was 1 or 2, he has been very healthy and if i were to put him in a car at this age, i think that would tramatize the situation even more. I dont even think he would let a vet touch him. Do you think his behavior is normal? what should i do? Thanks so much, please help.
