   Ron and I woke up this morning around 7 and noticed Akasha was limping a bit like her hine leg was sprained. She then started wobbling around like a newborn kitten. I left at 8:30 to take Ron to work and she was laying on the floor cover with her favorite blanket and one of my home made pillows. When i returned and hour later she was still there. She is eatting and drinking and will eat her treats. I cant afford a vet and the shelters where i live well...charge...(please dont judge) I dont know what to do. Ill go nuts if I lose her.

   Is she a jumper? When you say that she is wobbling are you describing a possible injury or do you believe she is sick? Have you felt her leg to see if you feel an obvious deformity? Is there any part that is swollen? Check out the leg and then give as much information as you can. There are so many here that may have experience. Many here are in a similiar situation with finances being tight. Before you lose hope give all the information you can and then perhaps help will come. Prayers of health to Akasha and prayers of peace to you.

   Call your local rescues, ask them if they know of any vets that will see her and you can make arrangments to pay later.

   please dont kill me. Ron smokes pot...not around me. And while i was visiting my mom ron blew smoke in the cats face. I did some etensive research on the effects and it matches everything other than her sprained paw to a T. the wobblieness the increased hunger the twitching everything, to say that I am PISSED is an understatment

    I'd definitely have a talk with Ron if I were you. Innocent animals shouldn't be made to experience such things. Since Akasha is a jumper I'd guess she may have merely pulled something. My Oreo developed a short term limp a while back and we never did discover how she did it. It was gone by the end of the day. Could even have been a cramp for all I know. Praying that Akasha will be back to herself very soon.

    I am not trying to be judgemental although I am sure it sounds that way. You are pregnant correct? Not only could he lose his job from drug use, and you are in a tight finacial situation as it is, but if this is in the house with a child there are more hazzards than one can count. My prayer is that you and your child will be safe and can live in a safe environment. I am truly afraid to think what he thinks is okay when he is purposely doing this to your cat in the home that you live in.

    I had to sneak back in to find out the rest of the story. I would never judge you, AM, however, I echo what SM said. My first thought is: if he would do this to an animal what we he do to a human. Which remainds me of a horrible story. When I was a teenager there was a teenager on my block that took a pregnant cat (that we later discovered to have also been doused with what we think was kerosene or some other flammable) swung her by the tail and flung her against a tree. I witnessed this as it was at the bus stop. I remember saying then, if he could do that to an animal what might he do to a human? Well, the human he almost killed was my brother, with a tire iron to the head. Weeks in shock trauma saved his life. It's bad enough he did that to your Akasha, and that is BAD, but what about you? What about your future child? That scares me.

    To SM and Lainey. I had a serious dixcussion with Ron he had 3 choices he smokes outside the home. not at all, or i am out of the relationship...needless to say he quit.

    Excuse me for saying this, but I doubt he will quit. I hope he proves me wrong for your sake. He sounds dangerous when he is high--I wouldn't leave him alone with the baby......

    im not till he proves otherwise. Update on her she has got her spunk back chasing her favorite toy running and jumping. Still a bit wobbly but seemingly much better. Back to biting me for the hell of it as normal.:)
