    Kirsten, I'm so sorry to hear about Luna. Whatever is causing this, I hope she'll recover quickly. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent her way.

    Hi, my nephew just recently had his young cat to the Vet and something similar happened with her leg after the shots. She wasn't feeling well and had difficulty climbing the stairs. Kitty is fine now, so I hope this is all it is with Luna. Hope she feels better soon.

    Prayers for Luna!
    Praying for peace in the Middle East, Ukraine, and around the world.

    Thanks everyone!

    TommyCat, it's interesting that something similar happened to your nephew's cat!

    Luna is doing better today. No more vomiting since yesterday morning, and her hind legs don't look so wobbly today. But it seems to me that her left leg is somewhat twisted, I wonder if she hurt herself when she fought against the shot during the first vet visit.

    Thank you, Kirsten, from Sydney and me. He continues to do better! Yes, I understand completely just how scary and heartbreaking it is when your older but previously healthy and active kitty suddenly seems to have had a possible stroke or other disabling, non-curable ailment. (More {{{{{{HUGS}}}}} and ~~~~~PURRS~~~~~ to you and Luna, and Lily too, from us .)

    And we are so glad to read that Luna is doing better! We continue to hope and pray that this is just a reaction to the shot and she'll be over that shortly. Also that her leg is not injured, just sore from the injection.

    If her leg still appears twisted tomorrow, why don't you call the vet and tell her about it, see what she thinks.

    That's great Luna is feeling better and no more vomiting. I bet they can hurt themselves with fighting the shot. My nephew's cat was extremely stressed and frightened with the Vet. I hope the other leg heals.

    Thanks a lot for Luna's candle, Pat, it's very appreciated!

    Whatever it was that was bugging her, it seems to be better now.

    TommyCat, how's your nephew's cat now?

    Hi Kirsten,
    Thank you; my nephew said his cat's leg is back to normal. It was sore for a few days but kept improving each day. I hope it will be the same for Luna. They sure can give us a scare when they're not feeling well.

    Indeed! She gave me the scare of my life yesterday! My RB Katz had wobbly hind legs the day she died, and all these memories came back yesterday when I saw Luna like that.

    Glad to hear your nephew's kitty is doing better!
