My cat use to be very lively. the vet said she had a stoke or seizure something nuerological. She is recoving well but still seems a little lathargic. Is there some medications or holistic things I can do for her? she also use to be an outdoor cat and is now indoors and seems depressed. Can cats get depressed?

Cats don't really get 'depressed' in the same way we do - however may be feeling poorly. Can you describe her symptoms to me?

Reply to Lori's Post: My cat is more lethargic since her stroke/seizure in June. She has always been skittish but seems more since the s/s. She is an older cat-@13yrs. She was still playful before the s/s. Is there something I can do to get her enery back. or is it a matter of time.
