Ginger
My first cat, Ginger, apparently had a stroke last week. I'm just worried sick. I noticed last week that she was walking unsteadily and she started spending days hiding in my closet. By yesterday, she was really unsteady on her feet and I had to put the pet steps next to my coffee table so she can drink from the fountain. She can't jump anymore.
I spent three hours at the vet clinic Saturday while they ran her through a bunch of tests. When I left for work last night, I was afraid I wouldn't see her alive again. I really hope she pulls through and gets better. Poor thing seems like she doesn't know what's going on.
If she has to go, I won't replace her the way I did when Sam died.

I'm very sorry LR. I hope she bounces back and I will say a prayer that she does.
I'm sorry. We had a scare with our oldest baby this past weekend, and it is just not fun.
Did you get a diagnosis yet? I am really sorry.
The loss of a pet is more traumatic than many people realize. I hope things work out well for Ginger.
update?
She spends most of her time in my bedroom closet. I haul here out at least once a day over her objections to eat and drink.
She still has a sense of balance because although she is unsteady on her feet, she will stick a foot out to keep from falling over.
She can't jump at all. I put my tabletop fountain on the floor, so she doesn't have to climb the pet steps to get to it.
Unless she has another stroke, I think she's as bad as she will get. And with strokes, you can never tell if she will get better or how much or how long it will take.
