I think my 5 year old cat has had a mild stroke or has some sort of brain tumor. She appears to be partially paralyzed on one side with some of her whiskers sitting flat against her face and her legs sometimes slipping out from under her. I don't think she can smell her food or it smells bad because she comes over like she's hungry, sniffs the food, looks around, then walks away. I got an appointment with the vet tomorrow to determine if he should refer her to a neurologist. I know I shouldn't have favorites, but, of my three cats, she's definitely the one I'd miss the most right now.

GOOD NEWS! She is MUCH better today and we cancelled the appointment. Her whiskers are out again, she is more stable (although not completely), and (most important) she's eating and drinking! I don't ever, in my life, think I've felt such joy to see my cat drinking water! I think the cortisol shot the vet gave her on Tuesday kicked in. I'm hoping this will be the last of it but will monitor her closely.
Thanks for all the good vibes!
