I have an appointment with my vet scheduled but I need to know if anyone else can shed some light on this situation.
I adopted Ursula about a year ago when she was less than a year old. She was very energetic, dangerously curious, and still very much a kitten. She gradually calmed down and seemed to be healthily maturing. Last week or so I started noticing her acting strangely; she will not lay any where other than the back of my computer chair (which is about 5 inches thick). She stays there when I go to bed and is there when I come home from work. She usually lays on her belly with her legs hanging down either side, but sometimes she tries to curl up. My greatest concern is when she falls asleep on there, she falls. When I'm sitting on the chair she slips onto my back, but sometimes she falls flat on the floor. She doesn't regain consciousness quickly enough to land on her feet but she always climbs right back up. I don't how much this hurts her.
She still purrs when I pet her, uses her litter box, eats regularly, but she's noticeably less lively. I don't know if she's just grown out of her kitten phase or if she's seriously ill. This is not my first cat and I've never seen this kind of behavior before. Does anyone have any insight or experience with this?
