    Thank you. Hugs are always good. There's been a lot of them going on between me, my hubby & daughter who was so distraught yesterday. She works with cats & didn't know whether she could face going in today but she did.

    Hi everyone, this is my first ever post. Just over a week ago we noticed that our 8 month old kitten suddenly couldn't walk & can only move by pulling himself forward with his front legs. He can move his legs but not walk & he can't wee by himself but can poo. He's had bloods done & x-rays but...
