last night my cat cuddled up under my bed and didn't come out, this was strange because she usually sleeps on my chest. this morning she was under my bed and the puppy came and barked and messed with her i dont know what she did because, when i got up i tried to get her out and she howled, then she limped for a while, every time we pet her she screames, its mostly toward the rear legs. her tail is not poofed up, and she is around a year or 2. PLEASE DONT TELL ME I NEED TO TAKE HER TO THE VET, ITS JUST THAT IM WORRIED AND WANT TO KNOW NOW, espesially because we can't afford a vet.
