Wondering if people would offer an opinion. My cat, Wolfie, has rear leg weakness that is getting progressively worse. He's been seen by numerous vets and it's not going to get any better. I'm guessing the leukemia is finally getting the best of him. Anyway, I'm just wondering how much I

Oh Amy--WOlfie sounds like such a spunky little character! If he's jumping on the bed, etc., then he's still spry enough to do the stairs. And you know, when he can't do it, he won't try. He might just start meowing at the bottom or top of the stairs when he wants help going up or down. Cats

Amy, I've had several FelV cats with back leg problems, and they seem to know when it's time to stop climbing stairs or trying to jump up on things. I'd let him do what he thinks he is up to doing. To restrict him would stress him, and this is always bad for FelV cats. Lorrie On 07-23, Amy

I remember when you posted initially -- I responded that I, too, had a cat that began experiencing rear leg weakness and then some head tremors. Her blood work (a reg health screen) was great (but for FeLV) so they sent her home and said watch her and see if it gets better, worse, etc. Well,

You might consider a ramp or something like that so he can continue to get on the bed with you. If you acclimate him to it now, he can decide to use it on his own. On Jul 23, 2010, at 4:23 PM, Lorrie wrote: Amy, I've had several FelV cats with back leg problems, and they seem to know when

Thanks to all that have replied. My gut tells me to let Wolfie do what he wants. That's the way it has always been with him and I don't think he'd have it any other way to be honest. I guess I just needed reassurance that I wasn't being an irresponsible mom. Thanks for all the support!
