    Poor Giz must feel so much better!

    Can you do any play sessions with just Amy, to encourage her to use those back legs more? Maybe with a feather on a string type thing, so she has to reach up for it?

    That's what I was thinking too! Beautiful Giz, I bet you feel a lot better now. And Amy, sweetie... could she kick at a toy with her back feet, I wonder? If anyone is able to come up with ways to help her it's her caring meowmie Hugs and kisses and snuggles to AMy and Giz, Samantha and Caramella

    I have two CH guys and I understand your worry about Amy's back legs. I do not have any advice for you, because my CH guys move around the house to follow the sun and the other cats keep them busy. But it is a worry that I have for when they start getting a little older...

    So I was reading the latest mailing from Best Friends and they talked about using a sling method to help a cat with weak back legs gain more strength. I am not sure that would work with Amy, but it might be worth a try. Here is a link for dogs and slings, but it is the same prinicipal with cats: http://www.petplace.com/dogs/how-do-...alk/page1.aspx

    We're all sending prayers and loving good wishes and healing energies for Amy and Giz. Here's hoping that Giz continues to do well after the Big Squeeze.

    How is sweet little Amy doing now? My two CH boys Elmer and Bob are especially concerned. Those sound like good ideas to encourage her use of her hind legs with toys.. how about dipping them in some really strong-smelling catnip first?

    Ah Giz, I hope you're feeling much better now. Those yucky glands can sure hold surprises sometimes!
