My cat fought, has wounds, and is twitching. Is she hurt or in pain?

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 6 years and 10 months old

Hi, my cat got into some sort of fight with an animal, and I know because she has some very minor wounds in a couple of areas. We have another cat and it could have been because they fought, but I'm not sure. She is an indoor-outdoor cat so she goes outside during the day. She has her rabies vaccine, but I'm worried because she's acting just a little off. She was doing some weird twitching stuff last night which is concerning to me. She ate her food and has an appetite, though.

Luna may be twitching because she is in pain. Unfortunately there are no OTC pain relievers you can give her. Many human ones are toxic to dogs and can be fatal if given. I would take her into the vet first thing in the morning to get checked out. I hope this helps!
