Amy, I don't have much input on restricting activity. In general it seems to me that once a cat realizes his limitations he'll limit himself. I am not big on limiting them. They generally do that on their own. I guess it's a personal opinion. Certainly something could happen, but something

First of all, kudos to you for being so careful with him. This can't be easy for you and from your posts here, I know you've been exploring many options to assist Wolfie. Others may have conflicting opinions, but I'm thinking Wolfie will tell you when he longer feels comfortable on the stairs.

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

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
