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...
