Hi
We've had our cat for over 11 years now - not sure exactly how old she is but I think it's about 13. We've never had any problems with her. She was fine today, and then suddenly I noticed that her walk wasn't normal. Her left rear leg was splayed a little to the side, and she was moving it in a funny circular motion while walking. Then the same happened with her right rear leg. Then her fore legs went funny too, as if she was drunk or very dizzy. She was stumbling around, her legs crossing over each other, having a hard time balancing. Then she lay down for half a minute, got up, stumbled again, lay down again. Then she went outside, was just sitting on the path like usual, except that her left fore leg wasn't sitting right - the ankle was turned in a little.
After that she ran back inside, her walk was fine and she's been behaving perfectly normally. Aside from that sudden onset of stumbling, I can't tell anything unusual.
Has anyone else had something similar happen with their cat/knows what might be going on?
