Illustration of the retrospectively observed jumping characteristics of cats in each of the two treatment groups. In the placebo treated cats, they tended to jump down in a vertical line, apparently minimizing the distance of the jump down. They showed anxiousness about jumping (1), appeared to jump down in a very vertical manner (2) and following landing, took longer for the hind limbs to contact the mat, and then they moved away holding the operated paw up (3). The ER-Bup treated cats tended to be less hesitant (1), jumped further away from the platform in a more normal arc (2) and on landing, quickly brought the hind limbs in contact with the mat and moved forward (3)
