hypatia42So...I have this cat. I think most people that read this know. I certainly do.
Last week she had a Wellness exam as described a couple of entries back. Today I got the results of all the tests they did in case *something* might be wrong and contributing to the overall health issues my cat is experiencing.
Overall health issues have never been defined particularly well. She's been off "normal" for a year and a half, she's now blind, and mostly refuses to eat unless the wind blows just right(I kid). BP is nicely under control with the Amplodipine but we still don't know why she has spasms when she sleeps or how she could have magically developed the REM sleep disorder that those symptoms indicate. Back when all this started it was an added stressor that all the blood work kept coming back normal and healthy. My cat is not normal and healthy, she can't frakking walk!!! I digress.
Today we get the results from the tests. *ALL* of them come back within normal ranges, healthy markers, the vet had to go look at her age again because she has would be healthy for a cat 5 years her junior...
So she can't walk right, she can't see, she falls over when she tries to groom herself and will likely out live us all because she's healthier than most people are! Stubborn little shit.
Right now she is curled up on my shoulder because I stationed myself to bask in the sun. If she is on me then she is the one basking. :) I can't really find it in me to complain.
