WCR: All Ps in place, but some of them are "weak"...in particular, preening and purring. This morning, she was very quiet and not very animated, but her appy was ok. I went back to bed at 6:30am and she woke me up at 7:30 by trying to open my sliding closet door. I convinced her to join me in bed for another hour. She curled up in the crook of my arm and rested her chin on my shoulder. My arm was freezing, but I love having her snuggle with me. I fixed her a snack after her +2.75 and she ate a good portion of it and now she's napping.
So, over the past few days/weeks/months, I've noticed a few changes about my little, sassy girl. Now, is this me watching her too closely? or is something else really going on?!
1. She is very "weak" when she uses her scratching post. I equate this to handshakes. She used to have a very firm handshake; now, it's like a limp paw handshake. :?
2. I have not heard her burp in several months. However, she has replaced the burping with farting.
3. She has "involuntary muscle spasms", mostly in her front legs but sometimes her back legs. She randomly kicks out with either left or right leg. I feel like it's becoming more frequent. This morning, it hit both of her front legs and she looked like she was tap dancing. I tried not to laugh. :lol:
4. I'm pretty sure she missed the footstool the other night. I have a little footstool next to my bed to give her a stepping stool up and I'm pretty sure she missed it or didn't make it all the way up. Don't know if this plays along with her wobbliness from yesterday.
5. She used to sit in the bathroom while I showered. Hadn't done that in months and months and months. Just recently, she came in twice!!!
6. She slobbers. a lot. and she's become an extremely messy eater. Food usually on her nose and hanging out of her mouth and then she shakes her head and flings it everywhere. :roll:
I have a feeling that there is something neurological going on, but I don't know what and I don't know if there's anything I can do to help/fix her. I see a decline with her every time we get back from the vet...not that they do something, but I feel like she just feels beaten down afterwards. :YMSIGH: I'm just worried about my girl. Thanks for listening to me ramble. I'm going to go obsess about her for a few more minutes before I head off to my classroom for some work.
Have a terrific Tuesday. Sending healthy vines to all our sugar kitties and their hoomins! Blessings!
