Waking up yesterday morning, finding my cat not moving sent all of us into
a panic. Blackie is 25 years old, and cannot hear any more, basically all
she does is pretty much eat and sleep. When we pulled her out of her bed
she had urinated in her bed, and her little body was just limp. I took her
to the vet, and he said given her age, that there are all kinds of tests we
could do, but only to come right back to the fact that she is an old cat
and the end results would still be the same. He seemed to think that she
might be having some kind of heart problem, but he really wasn't too
specific about the heart and said that it could have been a stroke also.
Ok, these are my questions.......... She moves her head, she is eating and
drinking. I feed her off my finger and give her water from an eye dropper.
She eats the food right down. But her body is just limp, and it seems that
the one side of her is more stiff then the other. She has urinated in her
bed again last night, no bowl movement yet.  She will still stretch out in
her bed.  She purrs all the time you are holding her. If her body was not
this way you wouldn't even know there was anything wrong with her. Is my
cat dieing? Could this have been a stroke? The vet said that he didn't
think she was in pain because she purred the whole time we were in the vet.
Any suggestions, anything, please help. Thank you.  Kelly, and Blackie.
