My cat is stumbling like she's drunk and sleeping in the litter box.

Your kitty obviously is having a health problem and needs to be seen by a vet. Being wobbly is a sign either of neurological origin or weakness or serious hip pain caused by arthritis. Please take her to a veterinarian for a geriatric wellness exam today.

She may. have some arthritis pain that is causing this (and its more obvious when she's on an uneven surface such as the bed), or she maybe having some age related weakness, or possibly some issues with her back or spinal cord causing the stumbling. You can take her to your vet for an exam, pain medication may be helpful, or if your vet suspects more of a neurologic issue therapies such as acupuncture or laser may be recommended.

Beast could be suffering from a metabolic disease like diabetes that can affect balance and neurologic function, for example. I recommend a full workup if this behavior continues, including blood work and potentially radiographs to look for signs of metabolic or neurologic disease, infection, or arthritis.

Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! The signs you describe can be caused by an irregularity in the spine - this may cause the bones to compress the actual spinal cord, damaging the nerves that are responsible for controlling the back legs and tail. A veterinary neurologist would be able to further diagnose the condition and propose a treatment plan, your original vet may be able to recommend one. I would be happy to take a look at x-rays or bloodwork and answer any questions you may have about them!

That sounds a little abnormal and she may have been having a mild seizure. Monitor her closely for additional signs and have your vet take a look at her. Your vet can do a work up to help diagnose and then decide if treatment is needed. If it happens again, trying recording the episode so your vet can see it.

It is really hard to say what is going on without seeing your cat but these kind of symptoms are very worrying. It could be for example a result of intoxication, stroke, vestibular disease, severe ear infection etc. Please, take your Xyza to your local vets as soon as possible as she probably needs immediate treatment.

Zoie very likely has arthritis, which may make it painful to get into her litter box and/or squat to have a bowel; movement. She may also be suffering from a typical old cat disease, such as hyperthyroidism or kidney disease. Both of those are easily diagnosed with a simple blood test. Diabetes can also cause weight loss, as can severe dental disease. Please take your kitty to your vet for a geriatric exam. You may also want to make it easier for your kitty to enter her litter box. The bigger the box the better and it should have a low entrance.
