Also check your cat's nails (overgrown or flat). If your cat gets loose nail-biting, play fetch, tug of war, and other fun activities with your cat. If symptoms develop, get him/her checked by a vet. [substeps] If your cat isn't showing other symptoms, monitor him/her for 24 hours (of course, it's fine to get her checked by a vet before this if you are worried). Be prepared to check your cat's bed for bedsores and swelling. Shaking can also indicate that something is seriously wrong, and should be checked as well. [substeps] Sickness can indicate, from the leap, that your cat is ill. If the fever is so severe that his/her body can no longer perform functions that normally would not suit it, you should keep your cat in an observation room.
