Hi, Just got home from the vets with Gracie, she's just over a year old. I adopted her from a shelter. Her history was that she was found during a raid in a very small and very nasty cage
. When I first got her and went to the vet he said her back legs had no muscle tone from being kept in a cage. he said they looked as if she had never been out to run at all, but give it some time and love and hopefully she will build them up. back to today they aren't building up enough, yes she walks and runs but not like the other cats i've had (we've all seen our cats do what I call the cheeta run all stretched out). She also can't meow, the vet says could have been trama. She opens her mouth at me but not even a squeek comes out. I just can't understand how people can be so cruel. I can't imagine doing this to a cat for a day much less 7 months. And it blows me away that after all she went thru she was willing to trust me.Sorry i'm venting some people just make me
