Mine did after a bout with ethaline glycol. Wasn't ever "right" after that. Died when she was 16, too. The male I got a few months after I got her lived to be 20 years old.

Yep my old girl was about 19 when she passed and she was the sweetest kitty! drooled when you pet her I always had kleenex in hand.. LOL!

[SquarishTriangle]

What was the ethylene glycol from?

[Alandriel]

Aww that's terrible. Did this same cat fall over often even on the ground, or off furniture?

Mine I think was really just at the very end of the queue when the brains got handed out.

I got him as a tiny kitten and at first he seemed all normal, a very playful if somewhat clumsy kitten. Later.... that's a different story ........poor thing

He was sooooo silly. But also really cuddly and lovely.

He would walk along a ledge and just keep on walking when the ledge was finished
He would bump into things when in one of his 'absent minded' moments
he would sit up and just stare into space often for minutes at a time
he would stop in mid paw lick and just stop, then continue again 20 secs or so later

I think he was 'out of body' a good portion of the time  []

That's him - Dubdub (little bear) - sadly, when he fell in love with a fennec fox the lady was either already taken or her big brother got the better of rascal dubdub

...that sounds an aweful lot like you're describing me!...except for the "he" part.

My cat which looks like a lab rat- white with pink ears- broke its leg at 5 months old and I paid £1500 to get it repaired by an orthopaedic veterinary surgeon. It is now bionic. And yes, I am mad.

[kdlynn]

i had a white cat with pink ears. she was adorable. why are you mad?

[opus]

To spend all that on a tiny rat-like moggy of course!

You mean ..............(since you did not copy over the last symtpom) you don't lick your paws then?

Hmmmm - you're certainly not suffering from 'end of the line when brains got handed out' like my cat; *that* much I can tell you for certain.


A set of glasses might help perhaps??

I often wondered about that with dubdub (the cat).
How would one know if a cat needed glasses and would there be such a thing?

Hi Alandriel,

Did you notice that eyes and pupils in that picture
don't look cattish at all?

Nice call Iko! LOL!

Aww...thanks! (I took an extra one while I was there...kidding.)
I do manage to avoid the temptation of licking my paws.

[Alandriel]

LOL - Iko, you ARE very observant.

You know how long it took me to find a piccie just like that??

I meant it as a 'double-entendre' since I addressed the problem of glasses both for cats and squarish triangle.
But thanks for pointing it out anyways; I'm sure not many would have noticed otherwise.

Not only clever but also steadfast of mind.

I'd still like to know about glasses for cats though if anyone can oblige .
Possible? Not possible? Contact lenses perhaps? Tell me to shut up and get lost maybe....
