strokes in cats

[sandyg79]

ollie my 13 yr old tabby has just had a stroke its so frightening, to see him like this is heart breaking , should have results of blood test after a visit to the vets tomorrow , i pray he recovers.

He is still being brave eating and drinking , and even still trying to clean himself, but his head is hung so low, he wants to look up but cant, does anyone know why these strokes happen.
