That happened to Fabric once. Turned out he had been in a cat fight, been bitten and then got an abscess. Happened in 24 hours or less.
Fingers crossed it's that or similar, super simple to treat if it is. Good luck!

she hadn't been out so i don't think it was a fight.
nico (our other cat) does playfight with fred but i've never seen them hurt each other.
it seems more likely that she's squeezed herself into a spot somewhere and somehow hurt herself. she seemed fine when i went to work in the morning but when the rest of the family got up, they found her dusty and limpy.

we don't know what happened. she just started limping, and then not moving around; started yesterday morning.
this evening i've located a bump on her left front leg. hoping it's not a break. she's off her food as well.
if no improvement by tomorrow, we'll take her to the vet's.
