She had been spending an inordinate amount of time eating and then she would sleep for hours. One spot on the living room has been declared her territory and she will growl at any cat who dares to try and move her.

I found out the drug that the vet prescribed for her is dangerous for kitties! Diazepam *valium* causes increased appetite, drowsiness and can cause liver malfunctions in some kitties. It has been banned from use from Tuft’s University after a study showed that a cat’s brain function is impaired on this drug and they are unable to learn.

So for now, Prowler is on Cefta Drops and Prednisone. I have another vet to thank for the Pred.

It makes me cry to see this once normal, active, curious and sometimes funny polydactyl cat turn into one that sleeps most of the day and is still baptizing the house and growling when approached. Whatever has her, it has her pretty firmly in its grasp. If this last round fails her, I am just retreating and letting nature take its course, whatever course that might be.
