I've noticed in the past couple of months while my 10.5 month old kitten, Bingley, has been growing, that his hind legs have gotten different-looking when he stands. His back legs seem to stick out as if he's "knock-kneed." I looked up that phrase, along with "feline" and got several sites regarding luxating patellas. I plan on calling the vet tomorrow to make an appt, but I wanted to see if anyone here has had any experience with this in cats. My mom has a doxie who has a luxating patella which sometimes pops out, but he's been able to deal with it without surgery. Bingley gets around just fine and he doesn't look like he's in any pain.
Here is a pic...sorry it's not that great. His butt is closest to the camera. I tried to get his fluffy tail out of the way. You can see the way his back legs don't stand evenly.
