My kitty cat fell of our 6 ft closet & landed on her rear end.We have wall to wall carpeting.So that made the fall less harder.She has been eating well & takin care of her duties,she walks fine but I could see she is a bit sore .There is no swelling,no limp,just soreness trying to climb on or off things.Nothing seems broken.How can get something to ease her .

with her being as young as she is, she probably didn't hurt herself too bad. puppies & kittens have rubber like bones. that makes them more sturdy. if she's still using the resroom ok & not limping or anything she should be fine.
But, whatever you do - DO NOT give her ANY human medication. tylenol or something like that can be deadly. If you feel like she is in pain or needs medical attention - call your vet or a local emergency vet clinic.

If it's pain relief you're after, that's only available at a vets. They will most probably give her an injection and/or oral anti-inflammatories, Also it's worth getting her checked because cats hide pain so well, it may be worse than it looks.
A hot water bottle is a pretty good idea though if it is just bruising but like I say you can't be sure with cats - if she fell on her rear end, she may have damaged her tail, you want to be making sure she can still pee and poo.

If you can afford it, the best bet is visiting a vet. Cats can break bones and not change their behavior much.
If your cat falls again, one place you should always check is the teeth-they crack teeth from falls (I don't think a land on the rear will make this happen, though) and this can be very serious.

If her habits haven't changed, then maybe she just tore something or bruised something. Try giving her a nice warm heating pad or a hot water bottle to sit on.

Take her to your Vet and have them examine her. She might be only bruised and sore, yet a Vet's exam might tell more of something you're not noticing.

Awww she probably just bruised her bottom. Give her a couple days it will probably go away on its own if not then you can take her to the vet.
