    Kirsten, Grace and I are sending many prayers and good thoughts for Luna. I know how frustrating it is to know your baby is not well and can't tell you where it hurts. Maybe on the pain meds Luna would allow a blood sample to be taken. Meanwhile we will keep the prayers coming. Please keep us updated on everyones condition.

    Oh Poor Luna. If this continues, you've got to get her checked again and perhaps you can give her 2-3 mg of Diazepam so the vet can get a blood sample and see if the levels are OK. That is quite important, so certain things hopefully can be ruled out.

    Older cats often yowl and want more attention - Fister certainly does, but then, Luna is not that old. However it must be frustrating for them to not feel as fresh as they used to, and of course they can't understand why. Lily is of course confused and frightened since she can see Luna is behaving differently.

    I hope you get sorted out what the problem is and something can be done about it. Fister and I are sending lots of positive thoughts and kisses to them both.

    What do you feed them?

    (((hugs)))

    My heart was breaking while reading this. Luna is such a sweet and gentle kitty, I can understand why her change in behavior has both you and Lily concerned. Hopefully your vet will be able to do what's necessary to get to the bottom of this, find the problem is not serious, and it can be easily remedied. Please Kirsten, keep us informed and let us know if there's ANYTHING we can do to help!

    Thank you everyone for your kind words and comfort, and for your concern...

    She seems to be doing a little better this evening; right now, she's curled up in my lap while I'm typing this; and she's purring and giving me headbumpies. And she was playing with her "kitty light" (laser pointer) a while ago; she was actually running when she was chasing the red spot. Running didn't seem to cause any problems, but I noticed on several occasions (also over the last days) that one her hind legs buckles a little when she's turning around, or changing direction. Hopefully it's no herniated disk causing this, but I think it could also be arthritis as well. My vet will have to find out...

    Lily came down from the cabinet some time this afternoon while I was watching a soccer match, but was still very nervous; she's far from her usual happy self. Wonder how the night is going to be...

    Awww, glad she's feeling at least somewhat better. Is she the one who had her anal glands expressed recently? here's hoping she feels better and better every day.

    Positive and healing thoughts for Luna - I hope it is something temporary and things improve soon. It is so difficult to know sometimes what to do when something is bothering our little ones - if only they could tell us.

    Thank you!

    @Bengalz: Yes, I really wish they could talk and tell us what's wrong! I was even thinking about contacting a pet psychic, also for Lily who obviously doesn't know how to deal with this.

    @Karen: No, that was Lily.

    Thank you for keeping Luna in your thoughts!

    She's much better now; back to normal, even though she's no longer on pain meds. The heatwave is over, it's actually cold over here, and she seems to like this better. And I really hope her back pain was just a temporary thing. Maybe she hurt herself when Lily jumped onto her back (she does that all the time. )
