Naps are my demise
I took a power nap yesterday, as I was falling asleep in my chair and figured I could use some sleep - well, that was really helpful except it kept me awake most of last night...sigh...i watched some good Antiques Roadshow appraisals and saw some really ugly large gemstone rings being hawked (that's really what it was like - guys selling stuff out of the back of trucks) and I actually heard my alarm go off at 6:15 before I finally fell to sleep...the moral to this story is - no power naps today...
My oldest (15) kitty Dexter has been slowly falling apart, as all older animals do...he's been having a bit of balance issues for a few weeks, but I thought it was a leg falling asleep or something..well, today he's pretty much falling over when he walks - and he looks so frustated like 'who's pushing me over'? poor kid...he's got a trip to the Dr. tomorrow...i hope its just an inner ear infection or inflamation (he's got ear mites) and nothing bigger (like a tumor)...we shall see...

Kitty: balance can be due to kidney failure. My 19 yr old has it, and now gets an IV once a week to flush kidneys. If he has lost weight, lost appetite and falling over, you may have kidney issues. Be sure he goes in to dr, don't postpone!

My eighteen year just had those systems and the vet told us she must have had a stroke. She also had kidney problems like the previous post. She looked like she was drunk when she walked. We just had to put her down. It broke my heart. She was my baby. We've had her our whole married life. Anyway, it's a good idea to get her to the vet. Let us know what happens!
