Just wondering if I'm overreacting here or if I should be a little concerned. Liz is about three and a half years old, never goes outside, has been regularly vaccinated for rabies all her life and hasn't been into anything that I'm aware of that could potentially be toxic.
She's toppled over and/or lost her balance twice today. She lays on the floor front of the sliding glass doors every morning and this afternoon as I was rattling their cat treat container to call them to get a few pieces, she lept up and lost her balance on her feet. I'd never seen her do this before and, because I tend to worry too much with she and Gus anyway, decided that maybe cats' limbs fall asleep after laying down for too long, just like humans.
Now, granted, I have been keeping a hawk's eye on her this evening, trying to notice if she's still having balance issues, so I could be seeing things that were always there, but if seems like she's still leaning to her left side every now and then. When I opened the bathroom door after my shower both the cats had been waiting outside and the door opening startled them. Lizzie jumped up and kind of fell over again. She's normally a very agile and poised cat, so this doesn't seem like her. Do cats have neurological issues?
The thought of the possibility of rabies isn't worrying me since, as I said, she's been vaccinated for it all her life. I'm just wondering if less-than-graceful topply kitties happens sometimes or if I should start with the paranoid cat-mommy thing.
