Star is showing some worrisome symptoms. I am waiting for the vet clinic to open and then I will get her in, get her tested and go from there. It is as if there is a disconnect from her mouth to the food? She is hungry and she goes for the food, but she just sits in front of it (almost like she is praying) I gave her water and she drank it eagerly- so this is not distemper- thank you God. I can syringe feed her and she laps it up, but there is just something not quite right in this young one. My estimate is for her first vet visit today- it will be about $130.50 because I am sure they will run a snap test on her. If anyone can help even a little bit- it would help her out immensely. My other thought is someone either dropped her, slapped her or hit her when she was a kitten and she is neurologically challenged-

This is your friendly cyber-beggar signing off now and headed for the phone-

Update: Negative on all the testing, no microchip found and neurologically she is sound. Suspect that she has been traumatized while eating either by a bully cat, perhaps a dog or even a human as she hunches down as if expecting for her world to end. Will work with her slowly- they found no spay scar so she will be spayed Weds.
