Thank you all so much for the support and kind words.  The last couple of days have been difficult to say the least. I've figured out what to do with the ashes when I receive them, by waiting until the weather is a bit better and spreading some at each of the 3 houses Kitty lived in.  Only...

Kitty will be remembered as the independent cat that if I wasn't around, he'd terrorize the dog.  He'd make his own little game trying to catch his tail.  He knew all the right times to come up for cuddles (even if he didn't know I was busy with some important work), he was always there to help...

Three week and a few days update: Well Kitty is back to more or less normal.  The second (longer lasting) steroid shot should be wearing off over the next week or so, so I'll keep you all posted if anything serious happens.  We haven't taken him back to the vet (or had a need to, really) since...

Eh, I think they were looking for a possible saddle thrombus, but there wasn't any evidence of it (and none of some of the other symptoms beyond weakness to suggest it; eg: his leg & paw was/is still warm, he doesn't react like it's painful, he still has feeling all along his leg, etc.)

Thanks again for your care and support everyone, it means a lot! @GoHolistic, it is his right side that appears to be weaker (it's hard to tell - he tends to favor putting most of his weight on his right side, but then seems to have issues moving his rear right leg to it's fullest extent).  He...

Ear infection was pretty early ruled out, there were no signs of discharge from the ear area, he wasn't scratching his ears, and when they poked that ear-inspection tool in his ear they didn't remark about anything unusual. Feline Vestibular Disorder is still 'on the table', though from what...

Some of you might remember my first post on tuesday, thinking poor Kitty (yes, I think I forgot to share his name being Kitty) was constipated.  Thank you all so much for your concern. In the old thread, I pretty well outlined what the vet's response was from the first visit - physical, check...

next day update: Very little improvement.  Kitty has managed to go #1 and #2, but he pretty much can't get around without either getting picked up and plopped in front of his goal, or otherwise tremendous effort getting upright & then actually walking//waddling around.  He does tend to...

Yeah, not constipation near as the vet can tell. Basic groping?  Nothing seemed out of whack (maybe a little under on his body temperature, while a couple other parts of him felt a little warm). X-Ray?  Nothing appeared fractured, broken, no "x-ray visible" constipation. Blood tests...

So the past week or so, my cat has acted more or less the same as he always does.  As an older cat he likes to lounge around, does play fights with the dog, enjoys plenty of cuddle time, and has a favorite spot on the couch. Then I woke up this morning to the sound of a cat desperately trying...
