I think Miss Mew has had a stroke. Her back legs aren't working, & her front legs aren't really working either. Her motor skills are minimal at this point. She's able to hold her head up for a little bit, but mostly she's just lying down.

We tried tempting her to eat yesterday with some tuna, and she refused it. First time she's never wanted tuna. She's stopped drinking now too. I took her to her bowl & she wasn't interested.

The mister called the vet today with her symptoms & they agreed that it is very likely a stroke that happened. We are just trying to make her comfortable for now. I've had her since 1994, when I was in university. I am so grateful for being gifted with her presence in my life. I've had a bit of a cry after cuddling with her.

I know what we have to do, but we're not ready.
