Yoda, my 14 year old russian blue/siamese usually walks fine, sometimes limps, and lacks either strength or desire to jump on couch with the ease he had as recently as 4 weeks ago. Feline aids and lukemia test both negative. slight white cell count elevation, early stages of kidney disease. xrays negative except for a cloudy spot on lower vertebra, almost at base of tail. vet is stymied at this stage. his tail response to stimulation is good. his appetite and disposition are good. his relationship with my other cat is still good. his waking and sleeping habits do not seem to have changed. the only noticeable behavior difference is he stays inside and neither uses the cat door nor goes out when I open the door for him. his weight is holding on the light side at 9.6 pounds, but he was never very much heavier. vet prescribed meds for white blood cell elevation. What could be wrong? Does fuzzy spot indicate arthritis as it does in humans. Would a tumor do it?
Any information is greatfully appreciated.
Thank you, Marty
