In the past few days, my cat has started acting strangely. She's been avoiding her litterbox, which is troublesome enough, but now she seems to occasionally lose function of her hind legs.
She starts backing up, but without putting any weight on one of her hind legs, then sits down on her butt with her legs splayed in front of her, flops on her side and gets back up, legs working okay again. She has switched back and forth between her legs, it doesn't seem to be related to an injury. When she's not having a...spell, for lack of better words, she has no problem with being petted and touched on her legs.
She has been eating and drinking regularly, but she's only used the box once in the past few days, the rest of the time she's been gracing my floor with presents.
I've taken her to the vet, who didn't seem concerned and only wanted a urine sample, saying it might be a UTI. Would this be causing her balance problems? Should I be worried or am I overreacting?
