My sister's cat Ebie suffered a stroke last night. Ebie is 12, and was otherwise healthy. Right now Ebie is at the vets, where they are trying to see if there is anything that can be done to help her.
I feel like I've been hit in the stomach. Ebie was such a lively little cat, with a very independant streak. Last night she was helpless, blinded by the stroke, and unable to lift the paws on her left side.
Even thought Ebie is not my own cat she is still so dear to me. Please keep her in your thoughts today, I hope so much that something can be done for her.
For those that would like to see Ebie the link is http://pets.burnerkitty.com/3149 . The first picture makes her look sort of grumpy, but she was such an independant cat that she didn't like to be picked up for too long.
