Luna is only seven years old. A week ago she stopped eating her regular bowl-a-day of food (plus the other cat's leftovers) and started sleeping in reclusive spots: the closet, in office corners, under the bed, full time. She spent over 24 hours under the bed Wednesday/Thursday.

I came home from work yesterday to find her splayed out on the carpet in the closet, and thought for sure she was dead until Zach lifted her up (she was like a rag doll) and put her on her feet. She stumbles, she's still not eating unless we rub wet food on her face, she will only take water from the palm or the squirt bottle, her bones are coming to be the heaviest part on her. A week ago she was an overweight, inactive but not lethargic cat, and now she doesn't care whether I brush her, or rub her feet, or rub her tummy, all things she hated and would bite me for seven days ago.

The vet did bloodwork but couldn't find anything wrong. I guess we're going to take him up on his offer to refer to to another vet for an ultrasound, although all the tests he did and all the poking and feeling around haven't led to us discovering anything. Another week of this and she's just going to waste away.

It's like she's given up and I don't know why. :(

This is awful and I'm so sorry. :( I agree, definitely take her to the other vet. Cats don't stop eating for no reason.

Hugs to you and Luna both. I hope you figure it out soon.

Poor Luna. =( I'm sorry. Here's hoping that the other vet figures out what's wrong as soon as possible.

Oh I hope the vet can find out what's going on and there's something they can do. Poor Luna and poor you - good luck.

Oh Renay. :( I'm so sorry. That's just so sad and scary. I hope the new vet figures out what's going on, and makes it all better very soon. *HUGS*

Oh, Renay, I'm so sorry! Something similar happened with my kitty, but he was much older. When he was young, though, he had a blood parasite that they found and managed with antibiotics.

Hopefully, Luna will be better soon! *hugs*

I am so sorry about kitty. I hope she gets better. Hearing about the poor kitties on my f-list (someone else's kitty died today D:) kinda breaks my heart a lot.
