Expert Answer

Cramps in a cat’s hind legs can be caused by many different issues, including calcium deficiency, encephalitis, parasite infection, and muscle or soft-tissue injury. If the cat lacks calcium, give it calcium tablets under a vet’s advice or feed calcium-rich foods. If there is a parasite infection, deworm promptly.

In short, if you notice the cat is unwell, take it to a vet promptly for examination and symptomatic treatment based on the cause.
